Indian River County Sheriff Deryl Loar has made an emotional plea to help solve the shooting death of one of his deputies.
He said they have a number of leads but the only arrest so far is 21-year-old Makhail Chambliss, a distant relatives of the deputy Garry Chambliss who was shot and killed Friday night in Gifford.
Deputy Chambliss, who was off duty, was not the intended target of the bullet that struck and killed him.
Makhail is not charged with killing the deputy, but is behind bars accused of firing a weapon from a car.
The sheriff wants the public to come forward with information.
