Michael Sumpter, 55, was shot and killed at his home in Citra, Florida, on the night of June 24, 2014. The shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. at his residence on Northeast 16th Terrace. He was taken to a hospital and died shortly after midnight.

At the time of the shooting Sumpter’s son, brother, and daughter were in the house. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office named two persons of interest, Wayne Galloway Jr., 19, and Yarnell Bagley, 20. Galloway was arrested the next day on an unrelated robbery charge, and Bagley had a warrant for robbery; authorities did not immediately explain how they were connected to Sumpter’s death. Detectives interviewed witnesses and family members and collected physical evidence at the scene.

Sumpter was remembered by those who knew him as hardworking with a heart of gold, and his family and community sought answers after the shooting. If anyone has information about what happened that night or the people named as persons of interest, please come forward.
