Kevin Malcolm Ulysse, a 22-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on October 16, 2019, in Riviera Beach, Florida. Officers responding about 4:42 p.m. found him lying unresponsive in the roadway in front of a residence near 717 West 7th Street; Riviera Beach Fire Rescue personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. Contemporary accounts described a confrontation that escalated into a physical altercation before a gunman fired and fled on foot.

Investigators later developed an account that Ulysse had completed a marijuana transaction with Damien Dwayne King and that Robert Rashad Pettway intended to rob him. Surveillance footage and nearby audio allegedly captured the confrontation and repeated demands to give it up, while witnesses saw a man in a red shirt running away. DNA on a passenger-side door handle of King’s vehicle reportedly matched Pettway, and telephone records linked a number used by Pettway to communications with King immediately before the shooting.

On September 23, 2026, detectives obtained homicide warrants: Pettway and King were charged in connection with Ulysse’s killing. Charges remain allegations unless proven in court. If anyone knew Kevin, saw the area that afternoon, or has information about the confrontation or the vehicle seen leaving the scene, please come forward.
