David Thomas Mikell, 34, was found dead of gunshot wounds on August 25, 2022, at a residence on 45918 Pennsylvania Road in Altoona, Florida. Deputies from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office discovered Mikell and another man, 41-year-old Shane Eugene Clements, both deceased when they arrived at the scene around 9 p.m. Neither victim lived at that address, and officials determined the incident was not random.

Investigators later identified two suspects. Roger Myles Gilbert, 35, was arrested in Volusia County after a traffic stop and crash; he was found in possession of a stolen firearm and charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Mikell and Clements. A woman named Samantha Butler was found dead in the vehicle after the crash; authorities do not believe her death resulted from crash injuries and have not released a cause.

No motive has been announced and the investigation remains active. Anyone with information about David Mikell or this case is asked to contact the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
