Lucas David Gore, 31, was shot to death on April 30, 2017, at 1002 South Daytona Avenue in Flagler Beach, Florida, across from the Flagler Beach Community Church. Deputies and Flagler Beach officers responded to a shooting call about 12:26 a.m. and found Gore unresponsive, slumped over a table; fire rescue staff pronounced him dead at the scene and the Medical Examiner confirmed the cause of death.

According to an arrest affidavit, Lucas Gore was shot twice in the head by his father, 74-year-old Bobby Gore, during an argument between Lucas and his mother, 57-year-old Bonnie Jean Gore.

Bobby Gore was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm and held without bond.

Flagler Beach Police, the State Attorney’s Homicide Investigations Unit and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Crime Scene Unit handled the investigation. Anyone with information about the shooting or the events that led to it is asked to come forward.
