Kavon Jamal Banks, 35, of Deltona, Florida, was found shot to death June 20, 2021, along the side of State Road 415 west of New Smyrna Beach near Lake Ashby Road. A motorist discovered his body and reported it shortly before 2:30 p.m. Volusia County Sheriff’s detectives launched an immediate investigation.

Investigators say Banks had been riding in a vehicle with three other people when he was shot by two of them, identified as Toriano Brooks, 29, of Palatka, and Isaiah Devonta Moore, 23, of Crestview. Brooks was arrested June 23, 2021, and charged with second-degree murder with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Moore was later indicted on one count of second-degree murder; detectives say both Brooks and Moore shot Banks and then dumped his body along the roadway. A third man, Montrez Hamilton, 28, was charged in August 2021 with accessory to second-degree murder while already serving time on unrelated charges.

All three remain in custody and the case is ongoing. If anyone has information about Banks, the vehicle mentioned, or the events leading up to June 20, please come forward.
