Justice Warren Gleason, 40, was killed on September 5, 2021, in Lakeland, Florida, during a mass shooting that targeted his family. The attacker, identified as Bryan Riley, a former Marine sharpshooter, entered the Gleason home early Sunday morning and opened fire. The assault also killed Gleason’s wife, their 3-month-old baby, and the baby’s 62-year-old grandmother; an 11-year-old girl survived after suffering seven gunshot wounds.

Reports say Riley had no known connection to the family, had been seen acting suspiciously in the neighborhood, and had a bizarre interaction with Gleason the night before. Riley reportedly told others he heard God instructing him to carry out the killings and was reportedly under the influence of methamphetamine at the time. He was heavily armed and later arrested and charged with multiple counts including first-degree murder and attempted murder.

Those with information about the Gleason family or the events leading up to the shooting are asked to come forward.
