Jamarion Barnes, 21, was shot and killed outside an ATM on Bowden Road in Jacksonville on June 20, 2022. Barnes and his girlfriend, Tyniya Powell, were both shot; Powell survived the scene but later died at a local hospital. Surveillance footage showed a man in dark clothing exit the back seat of the couple’s Toyota Corolla, open the driver’s door, grab something and flee before police arrived. Officers found Barnes lying outside the driver’s door and Powell beside the passenger side; Barnes was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say drugs were involved and that a suspect had texted one of the victims earlier that day about needing drugs. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, arrested 20-year-old Raishion Gist in connection with the shootings. Community tips and information from the outreach group MAD DADS were cited as important to identifying and locating the suspect. The Barnes family had already suffered another loss earlier in 2022 when Jamarion’s 20-year-old brother Jelijah Barnes was also shot and killed.

What information do readers have about the scene on Bowden Road or anyone who may have seen activity at that ATM around June 20, 2022?
