On July 3, 2024, 52-year-old Palm Bay resident Daniel Cain Jr. was shot and killed at the family home on Danbury St. SW. Police say his son, 23-year-old Brandon Michael Cain, called 911 and initially claimed he had acted in self-defense during a domestic argument.

Security video obtained by the Palm Bay Police Department showed Daniel seated outside the home before Brandon exited the house hiding a firearm behind his back; when Daniel stood up, Brandon shot him. That footage contradicts the self-defense claim by showing Daniel unarmed and not posing an obvious threat at the moment he was shot.

Brandon Cain was charged with first-degree premeditated murder and was later indicted by a Brevard County grand jury on August 6, 2024. He is being held without bond at the Brevard County Jail and no trial date has been set. The case remains under prosecution.

If anyone knew Daniel or was in the Danbury St. SW area that day, does anything about the timeline or the people involved stand out to you?
