Malik Warthen, 17, was shot and killed on December 5, 2015, at his aunt’s home in the Argyle Forest area of Jacksonville. Malik, known as Mo-Mo, was playing video games with friends in the room just before noon when his friend Michael Cecil Saddler, also 17, shot him in the head. Malik’s younger brother, Malquis Warthen, was in the room during the shooting. The handgun was later found in a neighbor’s yard.

Michael Saddler was arrested and charged with manslaughter and tampering with evidence. Malik’s family described the death as a tragic mistake; they remembered him as a quiet athlete who wanted to be an entrepreneur and urged attention to gun safety and the company young people keep. Both families were left devastated by the incident.

Did anyone in Argyle Forest know Malik or have information about what happened that day?
