A 31-year-old singer was killed in Casselberry this past weekend and the police are asking the public for help to identify and locate his killer.
Dereck Lavon Cummings, who performed under the stage name “Antwaun Miles,” was found dead on Saturday, January 28, by Casselberry Police Department officers after authorities received reports regarding an early morning shooting.
According to statement from authorities, CPD officers and Seminole County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the Carrington Park Condominiums at 2520 Caper Lane in Casselberry at around 5:30 a.m. that morning.
