Ocala Police identify man killed in weekend shooting that injured 3 others

Cortney Graham Sr.

The Ocala Police Department has identified the victim of a weekend shooting.

Officers responded to a shooting this past Saturday at about 10:30 a.m. and when they arrived at 821 NW 6th Terr., they discovered that four men had been shot. One victim was identified with multiple gunshots and officers immediately started medical treatment on him.

After witnesses in the crowd pointed out others who had been shot, officers started treating two more victims and all three were transported by EMS to a local hospital. The fourth victim wasn’t on scene when officers arrived and had been transported to an area hospital by a friend or family member.

A short time later, officers locked down a local hospital for a short period of time due to the violent circumstances surrounding the incident.

Cortney Graham Sr., 45, ultimately succumbed to his gunshot wounds. The incident is being investigated as a homicide by detectives from the Ocala Police Department’s Major Crimes Division.

Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to call detectives at (352) 369-7000 or CrimeStoppers at (352) 368-7867.
