Malik Jamar Hall, 26, was fatally shot on February 5, 2023, while seated in his parked car in a driveway at 1111 NE 11th Drive in Williston, Florida. Investigators say he was struck by three of 16 rounds fired from a .223 rifle; one bullet hit his head and caused his death. The vehicle involved in the shooting is believed to have been a white Ford that left the scene and was later found abandoned at Cabana Beach Apartments in Gainesville.

Williston Police identified two suspects from the same community who knew Hall: 20-year-old Isaac Mitchell Williams and 21-year-old Kentavious Demarous Brown. Williams surrendered on February 27, 2023, and Brown was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals on March 3, 2023. A Levy County grand jury returned true bills charging each man with one count of premeditated first-degree murder. Police continue to investigate whether the shooting was a drive-by or involved shooters on foot.

The chief noted the killing has deeply affected the community and families in Williston. If anyone knew Malik, his movements that day, or has information about the white Ford, please come forward.
