Brandon Young was 23 and a Monticello, Florida resident when he was shot at a large party at the MLK Center in Monticello on June 3, 2018. He was taken to a Tallahassee hospital and died of his injuries. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the shooting occurred during the gathering, which turned violent.

Investigators report no arrests and no publicly identified suspects. The case remains unsolved; a shortage of witnesses willing to come forward has been cited as a major obstacle. Family and community members held vigils and memorials, remembering Young as a kind, positively influential member of the community.

Anyone who was at the MLK Center that night or who has information that could help the investigation is asked to contact the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
