On December 25, 2023, a shooting in the 1300 block of Louisiana Street in Plant City, Florida, left one man dead at the scene and a second victim missing until two days later. Officers found 20-year-old Jamayais Bennett wounded and clutching his chest; he died after being taken to South Florida Baptist Hospital. Witnesses said Bennett was on foot and talking on his cellphone when someone in a silver SUV approached and fired multiple rounds at him and another person.

The second victim, 30-year-old Zonteveon Shaw, was discovered on December 27, 2023, by a cemetery employee at Garden of Peace Cemetery near the tree line; his body was covered in blood and had been deceased for several days. Plant City Police are treating both deaths as a double homicide, have surveillance footage and a suspect vehicle description, and are asking the public for tips. A combined reward of up to $9,500 has been offered for information leading to identification and arrest of the suspects.
