A deadly shooting outside a U.S. 64 gas station in Ocoee left 52-year-old Mickey Lee Goodman dead in the early morning hours of Tuesday, July 8, 2025. First responders found Goodman in the E-Z Stop parking lot, part of a shared lot with a McDonald’s, suffering from at least one gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital in Cleveland and later died. His body was sent to Knoxville for an autopsy.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office opened an immediate homicide investigation, processed the scene, interviewed witnesses, and reviewed security camera footage. Within a day investigators identified 34-year-old Jayson A. Wentworth of Ocoee; he was located at home, taken into custody without incident, booked into the Polk County Jail and charged with second-degree murder on a $750,000 bond.

If anyone witnessed the shooting at the E-Z Stop or has surveillance that could help clarify what happened that night, please come forward with information.
