Kristoff Salmon, 27, of Marion Oaks, Ocala, Florida, was shot and killed on April 4, 2021, early on Easter Sunday at a residence off Southwest 36th Avenue Road. Isaiah Hampton and Justina Crews, Salmon’s former partner and the mother of his child, were present. Salmon had been sleeping in his vehicle because Hampton was staying at the house; Crews and Hampton allowed him to come pick up belongings. Hampton shot Salmon multiple times; the autopsy confirmed three gunshot wounds. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office found Salmon deceased at the scene and Hampton asserted self-defense.

Assistant State Attorney Amy Berndt concluded in a memorandum that Hampton’s use of force was justified under Florida’s stand your ground law, and no charges were filed. Firearms from the incident were collected as evidence and investigators interviewed those at the scene, including Crews, who described the living arrangements and events leading up to the shooting. Is there anyone who knew Kristoff or was at the residence that day who can add detail about what happened that night?
