OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrests of three suspects in connection with a November 2024 shooting death.
On Nov. 15, 2024, deputies responded to what was initially reported as a car crash at the intersection of Greenup Street and Smith Street in Kissimmee. Upon arrival, they found 20-year-old Kashorn Armand deceased in the driver’s seat of a Range Rover, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to the sheriff’s office.
“This incident was determined later by our investigators to be premeditated murder linked to organized gang violence in the area,” Osceola County Sheriff Christopher Blackmon said during a news conference on Tuesday.

After months of investigation, detectives identified three suspects: Cornelius Walls, 21; Ta’Shard Smith, 18; and Sincere McKenzie, 18. Smith and McKenzie were juveniles at the time of the shooting.
“There was a lot of evidence in this case, and we’d like to give kudos to the FDLE crime lab for processing that,” said Blackmon.
The State Attorney’s Office presented the case to a grand jury, which indicted all three suspects on first-degree murder charges with gang enhancements. Walls and McKenzie were already incarcerated on unrelated charges when indicted. Smith was located and arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service on Feb. 3, 2026, and booked into the Osceola County Jail.
Alongside the recent arrests, Osceola homicide detectives are seeking the public’s help with three unsolved murders involving guns and gang-related violence.
The cases include the 2018 shooting death of 20-year-old Daunte Jevon Morris near Johnson Street and Garden Street; the 2020 shooting of 38-year-old Cornell Omar Clarke inside a residence on Old Dixie Highway; and the 2022 shooting death of 26-year-old Jaqwan Thomas-Jacob Dockery near the Key West Market on Old Dixie Highway.
