Deon O’Neal Jenkins, 26, was shot and killed on October 12, 2019, while sitting in a car outside a Circle K convenience store at the intersection of Palm Coast and Belle Terre parkways in Palm Coast, Florida. He was with a friend, Shakir Terry, who was wounded when a man armed with a Draco assault-style firearm stepped out from behind the store and opened fire at about 3:34 a.m.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office led a major investigation they called the Circle K Killer probe, logging more than 2,000 investigative hours and involving multiple agencies. Investigators say the motive stemmed from anger after a dispute in which Jenkins was accused of threatening the suspect’s grandparents; the suspect declared an intent to kill Deon and carried out the shooting. Marcus Avery Chamblin, 29, was arrested and charged in connection with the attack; Derrius Braxton Bauer, who allegedly drove the shooter to and from the scene, was also charged and awaiting trial.

Deon was born November 18, 1992, and raised in Atlanta and Palm Coast by his parents, Dr. Kenneth and Vita Davis. He loved music, fashion, drawing, and football. Does anyone who knew Deon or who was near the Circle K that night have information to share?
