David Myrick, 29, employee in a beer parlor, was lynched in 1937 or 1938 in Pasco County, Florida. Myrick was found hanging from a tree. In November 1937, Myrick, while working in a bar, allegedly was “friendly” with a white female co-worker. His employer informed Myrick that a white man was going to shoot him. The boss told Myrick that he had arranged to have Myrick taken to Savannah, Georgia for his own protection. Myrick was never seen alive after that.
