Jaleen Malik Howard was 19 when he was killed during a home invasion at the Peachtree Apartments in Cocoa, Florida, on June 19, 2018. Howard lived in the apartment with his pregnant girlfriend and their young child. Howard shot one intruder, identified as 22-year-old Rahkwon Shiem Yarveez Oquendo, who later collapsed and died in the street. Howard suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died in the stairwell of the apartment building.

The Cocoa Police Department described the incident as a targeted attack and said Howard knew Oquendo. Detectives reviewed Howard’s recent social media and interviewed friends while investigating motive. Police launched a manhunt for the two other suspects, who remained at large, and questioned several people as the investigation continued. Howard’s girlfriend, who witnessed the shooting, called 9-1-1 and was reported to be deeply traumatized.
