Bre Shawn Malone, 26, was one of two men found fatally wounded after a 911 call brought the Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office to a Quincy, Florida scene on the evening of November 27, 2024. Officials pronounced Malone and 20-year-old Kenwan Kilgore dead at the scene; investigators say both victims appeared to have been targeted but have not released a motive or named suspects.

Family remembered Malone as kind-hearted and loyal. His mother, DeMeka Thompson, set up a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses and support Malone’s two daughters, ages 1 and 7. A celebration of life took place December 14, 2024, at Carter-Parramore Academy Cafeteria in Quincy, with burial at Sunnyvale Cemetery; Williams Funeral Home handled arrangements. The community has held vigils and memorials, and local leaders have called for increased crime-prevention resources.

Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to contact the Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office.
