Green Lanot, a Black male, age 29, was shot during the dark, early-morning hours of July 1, 2025, inside a home on the 1500 block of Flagami Terrace in Deltona after an argument escalated. Deputies said the confrontation was between Green Lanot, 29, and another man; during the dispute, a single bullet struck Green Lanot, 29, in the abdomen. His girlfriend rushed him to a hospital in Orange City around 3 a.m., and he was later transferred to a Sanford hospital for surgery.
In the days that followed, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office detailed how the argument centered on how Green Lanot, 29, was treating his girlfriend, a quarrel that boiled over into violence inside the Deltona residence. Despite emergency care and surgery, Green Lanot, 29, succumbed to his injuries later that week. Records released by the sheriff's office stated that he died on July 3, 2025, two days after the shooting.
Detectives quickly identified 37-year-old Thomas A. Calderon as the suspect. On the day of the shooting, authorities announced they were seeking him on an attempted murder charge; by that evening and into the next day, local reports showed he had been identified and was not yet in custody. Soon after, deputies reported that the suspect had turned himself in, and once Green Lanot, 29, died, prosecutors elevated the case to second-degree murder with a firearm. Booking records and subsequent reporting indicated that Thomas A. Calderon was jailed in Volusia County on the upgraded charge.
Community pages memorialized Green Lanot, 29, marking the date of the Deltona shooting and noting his death amid a cluster of tragedies recorded across Florida that week. Those listings sit alongside brief notices that trace the arc of the case—from the first 3 a.m. call about shots fired to the search for a suspect, and finally to a booking on a murder charge after the victim's passing.
