On April 9, 2024, 17-year-old Sadarion Cosby was shot and killed around 8 p.m. in Sanford, Florida, near Ellen Place and Scott Drive in the Washington Oaks neighborhood during a drug deal that became a robbery. Cosby and three associates approached a parked black Kia K5 for a drug exchange. According to investigators, one of Cosby’s group, identified as 21-year-old Terrell Walker, pulled a gun and attempted to rob the Kia’s driver. The driver, who feared for his life, produced a firearm and fired one shot that struck Cosby in the abdomen as he leaned on the car window.

After the shooting, Cosby’s associates fled; two people — one wearing a multi-colored hoodie — briefly returned, put Cosby in a nearby house and the occupants drove him to the hospital, where he later died. The Sanford Police Department says multiple surveillance angles captured the incident. A 15-year-old, Zion Carter, has been arrested and charged with second-degree felony murder and attempted robbery with a firearm. A warrant has been issued for Walker, who is believed to be the person in the multi-colored hoodie and is charged with second-degree murder and attempted robbery with a firearm. Police are still seeking a third unidentified suspect.

Anyone who can help locate Walker or identify the third suspect is asked to contact the Sanford Police Department or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
