Reward offered in Horton murder

Investigation continues, but public’s help needed

A $5,000 reward has been offered in the Lafayette County shooting death of Thomas “Tommy” Horton. Horton was shot and killed in his front yard while walking toward his semi-truck to leave for work at about 5:45 on July 17. Horton, who lived near the town of Day, was a long time employee of Byrd’s Logging, located near Branford. Horton’s wallet, which reportedly contained several thousand dollars, was missing when his body was discovered.

Lafayette County Sheriff Brian Lamb said leads and persons of interest are being pursued. However, the sheriff’s office, Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the State’s Attorney Office need the public’s help as well in solving this murder. If you have any information regarding this crime please contact the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office at 386-294-1301. Anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest and conviction will be eligible for the $5000 reward.
