Matthew Raymond Hagerty, 24, of Titusville, Florida, was found shot to death in his car on Mockingbird Lane on the afternoon of March 11, 2015. He was born July 26, 1990. Friends and family remembered him as a son, brother, grandson, cousin and friend who loved music, the outdoors, his dog Roxie and his girlfriend Megan.

Surveillance from a nearby apartment complex recorded three people running from the scene just before officers arrived. Investigators say Hagerty had driven to that location to buy drugs from the three suspects, who intended to rob him; he was shot twice and died at the scene. Search warrants executed at homes on Gibson Street and Canaveral Avenue reportedly turned up physical evidence linking three Titusville residents to the killing: Jeremiah Jermain Trice, 19; Jiris Kelly, 18; and Tyreik Jaru Smith, 15. Police say the robbery was over a small amount of cash.

The loss devastated Hagerty’s family and the community. If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon or knew Matthew, please come forward.
