Donnell Williams, 24, was killed in Daytona Beach on September 10, 2023. Police responded to a 911 call about a reported stabbing at 505 Jean Street at about 11:45 pm and found Williams inside an apartment, covered in blood. He was taken to Halifax Hospital but was pronounced dead. The autopsy showed gunshot wounds to the abdomen and lower extremities; the wound trajectories — a stomach shot front to back and a leg shot back to front — suggested he was shot while attempting to flee.

Investigators named 25-year-old Danitto Simpson as the prime suspect. Witnesses said Simpson knocked Williams down and shot him in the apartment complex courtyard. The two men reportedly had prior conflicts linked to Simpson’s alleged sexual relationship with the mother of Williams’ children, and Simpson was said to have pulled a gun on Williams during an earlier altercation about a month before the fatal shooting. Police issued an arrest warrant for Simpson and asked the public for information.

Does anyone have information about the events at 505 Jean Street on the night of September 10 or know more about the people involved?
