• Daytona man shot 9 times. State says self-defense, father says murder. (news-journalonline.com) — An Edgewater father is publicly challenging prosecutors’ decision not to charge the man who fatally shot his 23-year-old son in Daytona Beach, despite a medical examiner ruling the death a homicide. He argues police failed to fully investigate, pointing to nine gunshot wounds and disputed self-defense claims, while Daytona Beach police and the State Attorney’s Office maintain the evidence supports a justified shooting. The case highlights ongoing frustration for the family as they seek answers and accountability.
