Kevin Austin, 40, was shot and killed at his home on Almond Boulevard near Stone Middle School in Melbourne, Florida on August 19, 2020. Neighbors reported hearing an argument between Austin and his 19-year-old housemate, Keyshawn Brown, followed by a gunshot. Police arriving about 11:25 p.m. found Austin deceased; Brown had left the scene and was later located and arrested after an extensive search.

The two men were unrelated and lived in separate rooms of the house. Brown was charged with manslaughter; the investigation has focused on what sparked the argument and how it escalated to fatal violence. Austin’s brother Maurice Talley described the family’s grief and disbelief, saying Austin had flaws but did not deserve to die that way.
