David Glen Malone, 26, of Weatherford, Texas, died on May 26, 2017, after being shot during a fight. The shooter, identified in reports as 17-year-old Calvin Pederson of Azle, initially admitted to the shooting and was taken into custody by the Parker County Sheriff’s Department.

A grand jury considered whether Pederson should be indicted for murder but declined to return a murder indictment, citing a claim of self-defense. The grand jury did indict Pederson on a charge of theft of a firearm connected to the incident. Malone’s family and friends expressed shock and disappointment at that outcome as they remembered him as a son, father and friend.

If anyone has information about the altercation or the events leading up to Malone’s death, please share what is known with local investigators.
