Leon D’Shawn Bennett was 23 when he was shot and killed on June 24, 2018, on 1st Street North in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Known as Lee Kahn in local music circles, he was walking with his girlfriend when several men in a white four-door vehicle approached. After a confrontation, one of the men shot Bennett; he collapsed onto a parked car and later died at the hospital.

The Jacksonville Beach Police Department released surveillance video of the fight that led to the shooting and asked the public for help identifying the people involved. Authorities later obtained arrest warrants for two men believed connected to the murder, identified through witness statements and footage, but no arrests had been announced and the investigation remained active. Bennett’s death left two young children and his community grieving.

If anyone has information about the incident or recognizes the men in the video, please contact the Jacksonville Beach Police Department.
