Anthony Michael Chrun was 23 when he was shot and killed in Daytona Beach, Florida, in the early morning hours of November 2, 2025. Police responded around 1:09 a.m. to reports of a person shot at Goodall Avenue and South Grandview Avenue and found Chrun unconscious in the front seat of his vehicle with at least one gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting followed an earlier altercation at a nearby bar that spilled into the surrounding area. Police believe another man encountered Chrun again near his car and fired the fatal shot. Authorities detained a suspect shortly after the shooting but declined to release the person’s name; multiple reports say that individual was released the same night pending review by the State Attorney’s Office. Officials characterized the incident as arising from a specific dispute and said they do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the community.

Chrun grew up in the St. Louis area, was described by family as a hardworking, curious Ritenour High School graduate and a state-championship wrestler, and was mourned by relatives who organized funeral services in Missouri and online fundraisers to help with expenses. If anyone was in or near the Goodall Avenue and South Grandview Avenue area that night or knows more about the earlier bar dispute, please share what was seen or heard.
