Good morning, Daytona Beach.

Defense for Troy Victorino and Jerone Hunter continued its case in the resentencing trial for the Xbox murders, the deadliest mass murder in Volusia County's history, where prosecutors argued for death sentences and a witness said Hunter was intimidated by Victorino—trial proceedings followed a change in state law that now permits life imprisonment for these cases.

Jeffrey Hirschkorn, a Florida man with five prior incarcerations—with 74 felony charges and 30 convictions, officers arrested him in Volusia County after he reportedly taunted a local auto dealership by saying Catch Me If You Can while committing fraud-related crimes, as investigators worked with the Orlando Police Department to secure his detention.

Wildfires broke out across Volusia County as crews fought three small fires along U.S. 92 between Deland and Daytona Beach — a cell tower fire near West International Speedway Boulevard forced the evacuation of three commercial structures, though no homes were in danger.

Officials said a burn ban has been in effect since April 16 due to drought and will remain until further notice.

Volusia County reopened the jetty connector at Lighthouse Point Park on May 2, allowing residents and visitors to walk on 144 feet of new wood decking and 567 feet of concrete jetty deck along Ponce Inlet after closure from a nor’easter; county crews will return next week—further repairs are planned to complete access improvements.

The city of Daytona Beach issued an emergency boil water alert Friday—after a power failure at the water treatment plant on LPGA Boulevard—and officials advised residents to use bottled water for drinking and boil tap water for pets.

Dozens of first responders met Friday at Edwin W.

Peck Sr. Park in Daytona Beach Shores to train in beach rescues and practice three simulated near drowning scenarios for a child—testing how agencies work together from initial aid to hospital care.
