Dylan Kane, 21, of Palm Bay, Florida, was shot and killed on December 4, 2013, during an attempted entry into a home on Thuringer Street Northwest. According to the homeowner, Stephen Wright, Kane and 26-year-old Sean Pino tried to force their way into the residence in the early morning hours and became aggressive; Wright says he shot both men and reported the incident to police. The Palm Bay Police Department questioned Wright and another person who was in the home. Investigators learned the four men involved knew one another through a mutual acquaintance, but the precise motive for the break-in was not established in reports.

The State Attorney reviewed the case and, in a March 4, 2014 letter, concluded Wright’s actions were lawful after finding Kane and Pino were engaged in an armed burglary and that Wright’s claim of self-defense was credible. No charges were filed.
