Shamus Gallon, 36, was shot and killed on March 24, 2017, at the Forestville, California home he shared with his mother and older brother, Shaun Gallon. Deputies attempted to revive Shamus but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The mother called in a distress report saying her elder son had fled with a rifle in a white Ford Aerostar minivan.

Sheriffs located and apprehended Shaun Gallon after a brief pursuit; he was 38 at the time and was booked on a murder charge. Authorities said the shooting involved a rifle. Reports described Shaun as having a history of erratic behavior and prior violent incidents, but investigators had not established a clear motive or any significant ongoing conflict between the brothers.

Anyone who knew Shamus, his family, or who saw activity near the Forestville home on March 24, 2017, is asked to come forward with information.
