Notes[]

  1. Authorities have long known that the same gun, a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson Sigma Series VE., was used in the killings of both Patton and Green. Detectives discovered that Hayes had bought that model gun and bullets from a gun shop in Daytona, right before Gunther was killed. But it wasn't until the DNA match that investigators could argue that Hayes was the one who fired at Patton, 35, Green, 34, and Gunther, 45. Bey's death was caused by strangulation - investigators said that's because Hayes likely threw away his gun long ago.
  2. Hayes is currently being charged with four counts of first-degree murder for the killings of Laquetta Gunther in 2005, Julie Green and Iwana Patton both in 2006 and the 2016 murder of Rachel Bey. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Hayes.
