Sanford police have identified the second man wanted in connection with a June 17 homicide, and are seeking the public’s help to locate him.
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.
The latest suspect to be identified is Cornelius Jehim Prince, 19.
Police had already identified one man in the video as Kobe Deron Hunter, 18. Police said Prince and Hunter are known to frequent the Washington Oaks area in Sanford and are being sought by investigators for questioning regarding the shooting.
Police are asking the public to help locate Prince and Hunter as they are material witnesses to this homicide.
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.
Prince has one arrest in Seminole County in August 2015 for possession of a controlled substance including marijuana.
