Kaylun Marquise Gray, 19, of Elba, Alabama, was killed on May 19, 2020, in Crestview, Florida, after a staged robbery at the Hilton Motel on Highway 90. According to the Crestview Police Department, Gray’s girlfriend, Jasmine Chantel Williams, solicited friends to take part in a robbery intended to recover a cell phone Williams said Gray was using to blackmail her. The planned robbery turned into a shootout. Gray exchanged gunfire with one of the robbers, Jakeith Tyrrell Edwards; both Gray and Edwards were fatally wounded, and Edwards later died at North Okaloosa Medical Center after fleeing the scene.

Williams and two alleged accomplices, Eric Rashawn Dorsey and Tykira Zhane Deandrade, were arrested and charged with murder and robbery with a firearm. An Okaloosa County grand jury returned multiple indictments, including counts of first-degree felony murder, second-degree felony murder, and accessory after the fact while in commission of a capital felony. The suspects were held without bond as the case moved into the court system.
