Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Double Murder
ORANGE COUNTY, FL (November 6, 2026) — Christopher Daveian Haynes was sentenced to life in prison today for the 2024 murders of Joslyn Grey and Errol Irving, following his conviction earlier this week on two counts of first-degree murder.
“Gun violence has taken far too many lives in our community, and no family should ever have to endure the loss of a loved one this way,” said State Attorney Monique Worrell. “Nothing can bring Joslyn and Errol back, but this sentence makes sure the person who took their lives is held accountable. Fighting gun violence remains one of my office’s highest priorities, and we will keep aggressively prosecuting those who use firearms to harm our neighbors. I want to thank our prosecutors and law enforcement partners for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to pursuing justice for these victims and their families.”
