Sanford police are asking for the community’s help to locate two men in connection with a recent homicide.
Police said they found Daquan McClain on June 17 in front of the Central Florida Regional Hospital with a gunshot wound to his chest. McClain later died from his injuries.
The exact location and time of the shooting is still under investigation.
After reviewing video of the outside of the hospital it was determined two men dropped McClain off before fleeing the area.
Police have identified one man in the video as Kobe Deron Hunter, 18. Police said Hunter is known to frequent the Washington Oaks area in Sanford and is being sought by investigators for questioning regarding the shooting.
The second man, who has not been identified, is described as a black male with shoulder length dreadlocks. At the time of the incident he was wearing a colored shirt with a design on the front and basketball style shorts.
Police are asking the public to help locate Hunter and identify the second man in the video images.
Hunter was just arrested in February for burglary, possession of heroin with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with intent to sell and resisting an officer without violence.
