Fourteen-year-old Marshaun Jones was found dead of an apparent gunshot wound on October 24, 2024, in the Marion Oaks subdivision of Marion County, Florida. The death occurred in the 15000 block of SW 48th Avenue. Marshaun had only recently moved to the Ocala area from Jacksonville, having lived there for about a week before his death.

The family and community have been left reeling; Marshaun’s father has publicly addressed the loss and spoken about the toll of gun violence. There is no information available about suspects, arrests, or the investigation’s status at this time.

If anyone has information about Marshaun, his movements in Marion Oaks, or anything that could help investigators, please come forward.
