Darian J. Elwin, 23, was shot to death on May 25, 2018, at the Central Station on Orange apartment complex in Orlando. He was struck three times by rounds from an AR-15 after a confrontation with Marquel Dock that stemmed from a dispute over money. Elwin and his girlfriend, Kayla Davis, 24, went to Dock’s apartment in the early hours armed respectively with a handgun and a knife; Dock, having been warned they intended to come, was armed with a rifle and fired at Elwin, saying he acted in self-defense.

Davis dragged Elwin from the apartment and called 911. She was arrested and charged with second-degree felony murder, aggravated assault, and burglary despite not firing a weapon, because Florida law allows murder charges when a death occurs during the commission of a felony. Dock was not charged after police determined he acted lawfully. Little else is known about the money dispute beyond Davis’s claim it was payment for her services as a professional cook and Dock’s refusal to elaborate without counsel.

Does anyone have information about the events leading up to that morning or about the financial dispute between the parties?
