The Deltona massacre on August 6, 2004, claimed six lives at a house on Telford Lane, including 17‑year‑old Jonathan Gleason. Four men forced their way into the home and attacked the occupants with baseball bats; autopsies showed blunt‑force head trauma for all victims and some post‑mortem stab wounds. Gleason was fatally stabbed in the neck while seated on a recliner; he was a co‑worker who had completed a Burger King application and was not a resident of the home.

Investigators tied the attack to revenge and theft after Troy Victorino believed Erin Belanger had evicted him and taken his Xbox. Victorino recruited Jerone Hunter, Michael Salas, and Robert Cannon. Crime scene evidence included shoe impressions, a knife handle and blade, metallic bats, a shoelace with DNA linking Hunter to victim Roberto Gonzalez, lamp fragments found in a suspect vehicle, and victim Francisco Roman’s fingerprints on sunglasses recovered from that vehicle. Hunter and Salas confessed to striking victims and to disposing of weapons; the four suspects were arrested and convicted.

Does anyone have information about Gleason’s life or movements the day before the attack that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
