Tyrone Antonio Colay, 34 and of Palatka, Florida, was pronounced dead at HCA Florida Putnam Hospital on August 21, 2023 after a shooting during a domestic disturbance at a residence on East Oak Hill Drive. The incident was reported at 1:30 a.m.; police say the shooting could be heard on a 911 call and that the dispute escalated to a fatal shooting in the backyard.

The other person involved is 53-year-old Regina Daniels, who lived in the same home. Daniels has told authorities she shot Colay and has been cooperating with detectives. Investigators from the Palatka Police Department are being assisted by the State Attorney’s Homicide Investigations Unit and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Crime Scene Unit, and no arrest had been made as of the initial investigation. Colay and Daniels had prior legal interactions, including a child support case filed by Daniels in 2011 that was reopened in 2018 and closed in March 2023; it was not confirmed whether they were married.
