James Knoll Jr., a 35-year-old resident of Oldsmar, Florida, was fatally shot on August 22, 2019. Deputies were called just after midnight for an armed person at Knoll’s Shore Boulevard home; officers found him with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Investigators concluded the shooting occurred during a home invasion. Two men in black with masks and AR-15-style rifles attempted to break in; during the struggle Knoll was shot through the front door and the assailants fled in a Ford F-150.

Detectives identified three suspects from Largo, Florida: Kleatis D. Webb Jr., 37; Eric Pasquale Melucci, 34; and Jason James Botes, 32. The attempted robbery was described as narcotics-related and Botes was said to have known Knoll. Webb, Melucci and Botes were arrested and charged with first-degree murder; Melucci also faced a warrant for possession of cocaine and Botes faced a charge for driving while his license was suspended or revoked.
