MELBOURNE, Fla. – An arrest has been made in a fatal shooting at a behavioral health center in Melbourne, according to police.

Melbourne police said around 4:48 p.m. Wednesday officers responded to the Circles of Care on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in reference to a shooting.

Investigators said they discovered Travis Knight, who worked at the facility, suffering from a gunshot wound in the parking lot. He was later pronounced dead.

Police said Robert C. Quackenbush was taken into custody at the scene. He was later arrested on first-degree murder charges and was being held without bond.

Officers said Quackenbush, who had received treatment at the facility and previously interacted with Knight, arrived at the facility in an attempt to speak with Knight and they had a conversation outside.

The conversation lasted several minutes and Knight was observed walking away in a casual manner, according to investigators.
