A Volusia County Sheriff's deputy walks inside the crime scene tape outside the Burger King parking lot in DeBary on Monday afternoon following a bloody situation inside where a man shot a server multiple times at point-blank range, killing her.

DEBARY -- The corner of Dirken Drive and Sunrise Boulevard in this quiet enclave off exit 108 of Interstate 4 sits a Burger King, where customers come and go, through the drive-thru with the normal hustle and bustle of fast food. All of that changed in the flash of a gun blast this morning with the server falling back from the counter and her attacker jumping over and unloading several more rounds while standing over her, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.

The victim has been identified as 38-year-old Heidi Shelmire and her accused killer is Jesus Morales, 41, who is charged with first-degree premeditated murder.
