A Florida police officer who was shot in the head in late June after approaching a man in a car died Tuesday from his injuries.

Jason Raynor, a three-year veteran of the Daytona Beach Police Department, died around 8 p.m. at Halifax Health, where he had remained in critical condition since the June 23 shooting.

“The outpouring of love and support that all of you have shown to our police department and to Officer Raynor’s family since he was severely injured has been nothing short of amazing,” Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young said in a statement.

“In His infinite wisdom God decided that it was time for this courageous young man to guard the gates of Heaven, even though that wasn’t the outcome that we all hoped for.”

On the night of the shooting, Raynor, 26, was on “proactive patrol” when he approached a 2016 Honda and asked the person in the driver’s seat, later identified as 29-year-old Othal Wallace, if he lives in the area, according to body cam footage released by police.

During a scuffle, Raynor was shot once in the head.

Wallace fled the scene and was caught days later outside Atlanta, hiding out in a treehouse on the property of a Black nationalist group dubbed the Not F---ing Around Coalition, or NFAC. He was taken into custody with multiple flash bangs, rifle plates, body armor, two rifles, two handguns and several boxes of ammunition.

He was charged with attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, which has now been upgraded to first-degree murder.

The State Attorney’s Office said Wednesday that they intend to seek the death penalty for Wallace.

A GoFundMe initially set up as a recovery fund for Raynor has raised more than $375,000.
