Police Officer Jason Raynor succumbed to a gunshot wound sustained on June 23rd, 2021, while he was investigating a suspicious vehicle.
He noticed the vehicle parked near an apartment building in the 100 block of Kingston Avenue at about 8:50 p.m. The occupant of the vehicle exited it and then suddenly pushed Officer Raynor. During the ensuing struggle, the subject shot Officer Raynor in the head.
The man fled to Atlanta, Georgia, where he was arrested three days later. He was extradited to Florida and charged with first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer. In September 2023, the man was convicted of manslaughter, and in October 2023, he was sentenced to 30 years.
Officer Raynor had served with the Daytona Beach Police Department for two years and had previously served with the Port Orange Police Department for three years. He is survived by his mother, father, and sister.

Most Recent Reflection
View all 119 ReflectionsI met Jason when he attended a CWP class along with his mother and sister. I along with my wife (both retired LEO'S) talked with Jason about the career path he desired. We offered a few tips on the hiring process. It was clear at that time he would become a great benefit to any dept. in the future. I was able to keep up with his career though his sister. We were in a networking group in NSB. Jason is truly missed by his family and all the brother and sister LEO'S.
