Aaron Leonard Daniel, 23, of Jacksonville, Florida, died on May 7, 2022. Born September 7, 1998, he was a devoted father to his son Carter Aaron Daniel and remembered for his bold sense of fashion and love of local dining. His obituary and family statements describe the significant loss felt by those close to him.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office investigated and determined Aaron’s death was a homicide. The case remains open; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. Earlier in 2022 Aaron faced unrelated charges in Duval County for possession of more than twenty grams of cannabis; those charges were dismissed on March 28, 2022. A separate forfeiture action was filed April 15, 2022, by Duval County Sheriff Mike Williams in the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court, though the connection to his death is not detailed.

Anyone with information about Aaron’s homicide is urged to come forward.
