Xavier Carroll, 34, was shot in the front yard of a Cocoa, Florida, residence on the evening of June 3, 2026, and later died of his injuries. Deputies were called about 6:20 to 6:30 p.m. to the Brophy Boulevard/Brophy Street area; emergency responders transported Carroll to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his wounds. An obituary lists his birthdate as May 28, 1992, and notes visitation and a funeral service at Taylor Funeral Home and Cremation in Rockledge on June 13, 2026.

Investigators say Carroll had been involved in a verbal altercation with 22-year-old Terrance Quintes Skinner Jr., who is accused of producing a firearm and shooting Carroll multiple times. Skinner was located at or near the scene, taken into custody without incident and booked into the Brevard County Jail; authorities charged him with first-degree premeditated murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. No trial outcome has been reported.
