Marvin Keith Evans III, 23, of Sanford, Florida, was found shot to death on April 25, 2021, in Deltona. His body was located about 6:20 a.m. near the roadway of a wooded residential lot in the 2200 block of Matthew Circle. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for help.

Investigators quickly identified 24-year-old Wilbert Anthony McFadden Jr., also of Sanford, as a person of interest. McFadden was reportedly the last person seen with Evans the night of the killing. After Evans’ body was discovered, McFadden’s vehicle was located in Kissimmee and found fully engulfed in flames; he was charged with tampering with evidence. McFadden was later arrested after being found injured following a car crash in Lake Helen and booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail with no bond. He has also faced separate charges stemming from an August 10, 2021 incident at a Deltona gas station in which he allegedly forced an ex-girlfriend into a car at gunpoint; she escaped unharmed.

The investigation remains active and law enforcement is seeking additional information and potential charges. Does anyone who knew Marvin or who was in the Matthew Circle area that morning have information that could help?
