Terance Darnell Pope Jr., 21, was fatally shot on December 17, 2024, at about 8 p.m. in the parking lot of the Best Buy at 1501 Rinehart Road in Sanford, Florida. Officers found Pope with a gunshot wound and he was taken to a local hospital, where he died. The circumstances leading to the shooting remain unclear; investigators have not determined whether he was a store patron or whether the incident began elsewhere and ended in the parking lot.

Sanford Police say no arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage and believe the busy holiday shopping period means witnesses may have been present. Pope, a DeBary resident, played college football at Davenport University in Michigan in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sanford Police Department or Crimeline at 800-423-8477.

Did anyone see activity in the Best Buy parking lot that evening or have surveillance that could help investigators?
