Lanorris Emanuel Gilmore, 28, was shot multiple times and killed in the early morning hours of July 27, 2019, outside a home on Thistle Trail in Hawthorne, Florida. His younger brother, Darius Dante Gilmore, 20, was wounded in both legs in the same incident. The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office responded and opened a criminal investigation.

An 18-year-old, Rayquan Mantrell Frison, turned himself in on July 29, 2019, and was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Lanorris Gilmore’s death and attempted murder for the injuries to Darius Gilmore. The Sheriff’s Office did not provide a clear motive or detailed account of what led up to the shooting.

Lanorris was honored at a Celebration of Life Service on August 3, 2019, at Trinity United Missionary Baptist Church. If anyone has information about the events on Thistle Trail that night or knew Lanorris, please share what you know.
