Vance Shannon and Kaylee Storm arrested for attempted homicide
BREVARD COUNTY • TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA – Titusville Police Detectives have arrested a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old female in connection with the attempted homicide of a local man occurring on Wednesday (Dec. 13).
Police say Vance Michael Shannon, 19 of Holiday, Florida, was arrested and charged with 6 felony counts for Attempted Murder, Discharge of a Firearm from a Vehicle, Aggravated Battery, Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Shooting a Firearm into a Vehicle, and Criminal Mischief.
Kaylee Storm, 17, of Mims, was arrested and charged with 2 felony counts for Attempted Homicide and Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon.
The investigation began at approximately 9:15 p.m. when police responded to 911 calls reporting shots fired near a residence on the 1500 block of Fuji Drive and found that Shannon vandalized the victim’s Christmas decorations and left the scene in a 4-door Mercury sedan.
“Moments after the vandalism occurred, the victim identified the suspect’s vehicle parked along Fuji Road just a few houses down from the initial crime scene,” said Amy Matthews of the Titusville Police Department.
“The victim, driving his 2019 green Nissan Titan Truck, confronted Shannon about the vandalism. Shannon proceeded to threaten him by producing a firearm and pointing it at him, threatening to kill the victim.”
That is when the victim retreated to his vehicle, at which point, the suspect used his vehicle to reverse it at a high rate of speed into the victim’s front yard.
In fear for his family’s life, the victim blocked the suspect’s car with his own. As the victim exited his vehicle, the female suspect, Storm, got out of the sedan and charged the victim with a knife.
The knife cut the victim’s hand as he tried to defend himself.
Shannon then exited the sedan and shot a gun multiple times at the victim, while making statements that he was going to kill him.
The victim sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
Within an hour, investigative evidence led Titusville Police Detectives to the location and subsequent arrest of Shannon and Storm at a residence within the Fawn Lake community in Mims.
Kaylee Storm was remanded to the Brevard County Juvenile Justice Center.
Vance Michael Shannon was booked into the Brevard County Jail and is being held on a $173,000 bond.
The incident remains an ongoing investigation.
