Jose Munoz-Bibiano, a 47-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, was shot and killed on the morning of June 26, 2026, in the Decatur area of DeKalb County, Georgia. Police were dispatched shortly after 9:00 a.m. to the 1700 block of Soapstone Court, where they found Munoz-Bibiano lying outside a residence. He had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The shooting prompted an immediate police response, and investigators quickly identified Pierre Breedlove, 34, as the suspect. Authorities said Breedlove was taken into custody within minutes of officers arriving in the neighborhood. Publicly released accounts did not describe a prolonged search or manhunt, indicating that investigators were able to locate and detain the suspected gunman almost immediately after the fatal shooting.
Breedlove was arrested and charged with malice murder in connection with Munoz-Bibiano’s death. DeKalb County booking information also records Breedlove’s June 26 arrest on a malice murder charge. Following his arrest, he was being held in the DeKalb County jail while the homicide investigation continued. Police had not publicly disclosed what allegedly led to the shooting, including whether Munoz-Bibiano and Breedlove knew one another or whether investigators had established a specific motive.
Munoz-Bibiano’s full name was reported in funeral information as Jose Francisco Munoz Bibiano, with his death recorded on June 26, 2026. Funeral arrangements were subsequently made in the Atlanta area. The available reporting established that he was struck by multiple gunshots outside the Soapstone Court residence, but authorities had released few additional details about the circumstances immediately preceding the gunfire.
As of the latest publicly available reporting located for the case, Breedlove remained the identified suspect and the malice murder charge was the principal charge publicly reported in connection with Munoz-Bibiano’s killing. No publicly reported trial, conviction, acquittal, or sentencing had yet been located, and investigators had not announced any additional suspects or arrests. The case therefore remained a pending homicide prosecution following Breedlove’s arrest.
