Justin Malone, 34, of Burbank, California, died on November 10, 2016, from a gunshot wound found at a luxury hotel in Burbank. Initial reporting suggested he may have shot himself, and the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office listed the cause as a gunshot wound, but investigators described the exact circumstances as unclear and did not immediately rule out homicide.

Detectives searched the scene, interviewed potential witnesses, and reviewed hotel surveillance footage. Investigators reported no immediate signs of foul play but had not identified any suspects; the case remained open and under investigation. Family and friends said Malone was a loving father to his children, Noah and Nylah, and a GoFundMe was started to support them after the loss of both parents within a few years.

No arrests have been announced. If anyone has information about Malone’s death or his movements at the hotel on November 10, 2016, please come forward.
