Orlando shooting victim was former resident of Scott County

One of the victims of the mass shooting in Orlando once lived in Georgetown, several media outlets reported.

Darryl “DJ” Roman Burt II, 29, of Jacksonville, Fla., had just graduated from DeVry University’s Keller Graduate School of Management with a degree in human resources management before he was shot and killed at Pulse nightclub early Sunday, the Florida Times-Union reported.

Kathy Owens, Burt’s ninth-grade honors English teacher at Scott County Ninth Grade School, told the Georgetown News-Graphic that he was “kind-hearted” and was always smiling.

Burt’s family now lives in Avon, Ind.

Burt was working as a financial aid officer at Keiser University, according to his LinkedIn profile.

He was a member of the Jacksonville Jaycees, according to a page set up in Burt’s memory on Gofundme.com.

His LinkedIn page says Burt previously attended Claflin University from 2005 to 2007 and earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from the University of Phoenix in 2013.

He had worked as a manager at McDonald’s in Columbia, S.C., and as a manager at Forever 21 in Raleigh N.C.
