Cornellius Jamal Poole, 21, was found dead in his Tallahassee apartment on West Tharpe Street on July 5, 2015. He and a friend, Lance Love, were discovered after the apartment had been set on fire; both men had sustained gunshot wounds to the head and their wrists were bound. The scene was ransacked and a large amount of cash reported to belong to Love was missing.

Investigators linked 21-year-old Walter C. Rayborn to the scene. Blood collected from broken glass and the sidewalk matched Rayborn’s DNA in a Florida Department of Law Enforcement database, and surveillance footage showed a man matching his description entering and leaving the apartment around the time of the killings. Rayborn was arrested at a family member’s home in Quincy after initially resisting; he was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Rayborn’s girlfriend, Delynda Mercedes Aguirre, was charged with accessory after the fact for helping him evade capture, including bathing him in bleach.

Poole was remembered as kind and well-liked by coworkers and customers at Publix. Does anyone have information about Poole, Love, or the events on July 5, 2015 that could help clarify what happened?
