Neighbor says he heard gunshot that killed man in DeLand

DELAND, Fla. - Detectives are working to learn who shot and killed a man overnight in Volusia County.

Korey Woulard, 29, was found lying on the road of Chipola Avenue in DeLand shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday, according to the Volusia Sheriff's Office. A DeLand police officer, who was the first to arrive to the area, administered CPR, but Woulard was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene. 

A resident said he heard a gunshot and ran outside to see Woulard on the ground and called 911.

"While I was in the house and I heard a pop and an 'ah'! Sounded like someone was calling out in pain," said the resident who did not want to be identified.

The resident said family placed flowers and candles where deputies say Woulard took his last breath, and he hopes to give them some sense of peace.

"I hope everyone understands he did have prayers over him as soon as they were able to be said," he said. "It was a very scary situation."

The sheriff's office does not have a suspect in custody at this time. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact the VSO Major Case Unit at 386-254-1535 or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida either at 888-277-TIPS or via the P3 Tips app.
