Samuel McGriff Jr., a 17-year-old African American, was shot in the abdomen at about 4:30 a.m. on June 16, 2014, at a local apartment complex in Panama City, Florida. He was taken to hospital and died three days later on June 19, 2014. His death was reported as the fifth gun-related fatality in Panama City within a month.

The Panama City Police Department investigated and identified a vehicle of interest, seeking a van they believed may have been connected to the shooting. Details about arrests or named suspects are not clear. Samuel’s family sought justice and the case drew significant attention locally because of the recent string of gun fatalities.

Does anyone have information about the June 16, 2014 shooting or recall seeing a van near that apartment complex that morning?
