On March 12, 2017, PrinceSullman Gana Mohammed, a 33-year-old male from Merritt Island, FL, was tragically shot and killed. The incident occurred after Mohammed and the suspect, 25-year-old Bobby Lamar Malcom Jr., were reportedly ingesting drugs at a residence in Cocoa, FL. Following their drug use, they left the residence in a vehicle driven by a female witness. During the drive, Malcom pulled out a firearm and pointed it at Mohammed.
As they crossed the Eau Gallie Causeway in Melbourne, Malcom fired a single shot, killing Mohammed instantly. The suspect then forced the female driver to continue to a remote area off Satellite Blvd in unincorporated Cocoa, where he disposed of Mohammed's body.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office Homicide Unit quickly responded to the incident after receiving a 911 call from the female witness, who managed to escape and seek help. The investigation led to the arrest of Bobby Lamar Malcom Jr., who was charged with second-degree murder. Malcom was taken into custody and held without bond at the Brevard County Jail. The authorities conducted thorough interviews, served search warrants, and processed multiple crime scenes to gather the necessary evidence for the arrest.
The case of PrinceSullman Gana Mohammed's death highlights the tragic consequences of drug use and violence. The swift action by law enforcement and the cooperation of the witness were crucial in bringing the suspect to justice. The investigation remains a stark reminder of the dangers associated with drug-related activities and the importance of community vigilance in reporting suspicious behavior.
