A shootout during a home-invasion at a house on Regent Lane in Palm Coast on Dec. 29 killed one man and injured another, and CrimeStoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
The man who was killed has been identified as Zaire T. Roberts, 23.
Roberts had recently been released on probation after serving a seven-year sentence for aggravated battery with a firearm for the 2015 shooting that injured then-18-year-old Phillip Haire, who has since himself been arrested for a different shooting and remains in prison.
Evidence recovered from the crime scene Dec. 29 suggests an exchange of gunfire at the residence.
Crime Scene Investigation and detectives worked throughout the holiday weekend in an effort to resolve the incident.
“We have already received several helpful tips from the community over the holiday weekend,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “We want to reiterate that there is currently a $5,000 reward through CrimeStoppers of Northeast Florida for information leading to an arrest. We want to thank the community for their ongoing support and to encourage anyone else with information about this shooting to come forward. These cases can be complicated and take time to solve, but the information and evidence we have received indicates that we are on the right track and that we will successfully resolve this case.”
Anyone with information is asked to please contact CrimeStoppers of Northeast Florida at 1-888-277-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be sent directly to the FCSO via email at [email protected].
