‼️SHOOTING AT RESTAURANT BAR‼️
On Friday, June 20, 2025, at approximately 10:48 p.m., officers from the Daytona Beach Police Department responded to a shooting at South Turn Lounge and Restaurant, located at 1540 S. Nova Road.
Upon arrival, officers located three individuals near the front entrance of the establishment, all suffering from gunshot wounds. The victims were immediately provided with medical aid and transported to a local hospital. All are currently receiving treatment and are expected to survive.
Preliminary investigation revealed that an unidentified white male patron had been inside the restaurant consuming alcoholic beverages. After becoming belligerent, the individual was asked to leave by staff and was escorted out of the establishment.
Shortly after, the suspect returned and, following a brief verbal exchange, retrieved a firearm from his waistband and fired multiple rounds toward the entrance, striking the three victims.
He then fled the scene in a vehicle.
Through swift investigative work, officers were able to identify the suspect as Anthony Kaznakoff (DOB: 11/06/1996).
Officers responded to his home and made contact with individuals at the residence who advised that Kaznakoff had returned home briefly before leaving on foot.
Kaznakoff was contacted by phone, and with the assistance of his family members, he surrendered to law enforcement without incident.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our law enforcement partners, the Volusia Sheriff's Office and the South Daytona Police Department for their assistance during this investigation.
