Fifteen-year-old Nolan King was fatally shot on December 8, 2024, at his South Miami apartment complex near Southwest 64th Street and 59th Place. The shooting happened around 5:30 p.m. after a dispute with two acquaintances, identified as 18-year-old Quinton Lenard Mayo and 19-year-old Javari Omarion Jones. A firearm was produced during the altercation and King was struck; he was taken to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital where he died.

A white sedan was seen fleeing the scene, prompting a be-on-the-lookout alert. South Miami Police located the vehicle, attempted a traffic stop, and chased it briefly before the occupants fled on foot; both suspects were captured after a short foot chase. Mayo and Jones were arrested on resisting without violence charges, and Jones also faces a fleeing-and-eluding charge at high speed.

King had lived with his foster mother, Andrea Price, for three years and attended a nearby public school. Neighbors described him as a good gentleman, and Price said he wanted to become a scientist. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators.
