DELEON SPRINGS -- The Volusia County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting Saturday night in DeLeon Springs that resulted in a 33-year-old man dying early the next morning at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach.
"Deputies were initially dispatched to the area of Katrina Street at 7:18 p.m.after a resident called 911 to report hearing a commotion in the street and a possible gunshot," Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said. "The caller said that after the disturbance, several people fled the area in a van. Deputies quickly responded, but everyone had already left the area."
However, a few minutes later the Sheriff's Office got a call from Florida Hospital DeLand saying a man was being treated in the emergency room for a gunshot wound. The victim, who was brought there by someone in a van, was later transferred to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach where he died early Sunday morning. His name was not released.
Deputies have recovered a gun and are still trying to sort out the circumstances of the fatal shooting, Davidson said.
