One or more people fired shots at the victims. The man who was struck was a passenger in the car. The 20-year-old man was struck once. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The few times that Aaron Thayer has been in the news locally go back to May 2015, when his 58-year-old father George Contos of Apricot Avenue in Daytona North disappeared and Thayer sought the Flagler County Sheriff’s help to find him. Contos’s 1997 car was subsequently found empty in a Palm Coast strip mall. Months later a message from Thayer was read at the unveiling of a billboard on State Road A1A offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to Contos’s discovery, or recovery.
