A 25-year-old man was killed in a late-evening shooting at North Jetty Park in Nokomis on Sunday, May 19, 2024. Deputies arrived at about 7:16 p.m. and found Octavius Cornelius Lee Cummings Jr., known as NuNu, deceased at the scene. He lived in Northport and visitation was scheduled at Westside Funeral Home in Palmetto.

Authorities say the shooting followed an altercation with 22-year-old Franklin Roosevelt Raybon Jr., also from Port Charlotte. Raybon voluntarily surrendered to police on Tuesday and has been charged with second-degree murder and attempted felony murder for allegedly firing toward another person who was not hit. North Jetty Park was briefly closed for the investigation and has since reopened; the Sheriff’s Office described the incident as isolated. If anyone has information about what happened that evening, contact the Sarasota Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Section or Sarasota Crimestoppers.
