Malcolm A. Hunter Jr., 45, was shot to death in his Jacksonville, Texas, home on July 21, 2018, after three masked intruders forced their way inside while he slept. The attackers apparently planned the break-in and targeted his residence; Hunter was caught off guard and shot multiple times. Law enforcement investigated and arrested one suspect soon after the killing while two others remained at large initially.

A defendant identified in later proceedings, Jacolbe Rashad Kirby, was convicted of capital murder in February 2022 and received life without parole. The Texas 12th Court of Appeals affirmed that conviction in September 2023, finding no reversible error. Hunter’s family and the community were deeply affected by the violence and the long process to reach a legal resolution.

If anyone knew Malcolm, his routines, or has information about the remaining perpetrators involved in the 2018 home invasion, please share what you know.
