McQuell Jeremiah Spellman, 30, was found shot to death inside his home in the 500 block of Cobb Lane in Ensley, Florida, after the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office received reports of gunfire around 3:30 a.m. on May 20, 2019. Deputies located Spellman inside the house; he died of a gunshot wound and the ECSO opened a homicide investigation.

Spellman was a father of three. Despite an active investigation and publicity, no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced in his killing. In the months after the homicide the ECSO detained three people in connection with two separate drug-related shootings in the area, but it is not clear those detentions are related to Spellman’s death.

Family and community members held vigils and memorials, and the ECSO continues to seek tips. If anyone has information about what happened to McQuell Spellman, please contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
