Raynor was shot during a traffic stop on June 23 and spent weeks in the hospital before tragically succumbing to his injuries.
Othal Wallace is charged with first-degree murder in Raynor’s death after an altercation between the two men led to Raynor being shot, according to law enforcement.
In a post on social media, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said, “Jason Raynor will never be forgotten.”
