John Edward Moss, 46, died on October 31, 2022, in Jacksonville, Florida, after a violent altercation at a birthday celebration. According to reports, Moss and 45-year-old Timothy Peeples argued during the party; witnesses said Moss had been drinking and made threatening statements that provoked Peeples. The confrontation escalated and Moss sustained a fatal head injury.

Peeples did not immediately notify authorities. He wrapped Moss’s body in plastic and transported it to Brantley County, Georgia, where the body was later found in a body of water. Investigators charged Peeples with manslaughter, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a dead body; his prior convictions for firearm possession were also noted and led to an additional charge for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Moss is remembered by his community as a beloved father and friend.

Does anyone have information about Moss’s last known movements at the party or recall seeing him with Peeples before the altercation?
