Deon Manick, 23, was found dead inside an apartment at the Riverbank Apartments on Jacksonville’s Westside after gunfire was heard in the area on the night of April 28, 2022. His body was discovered the next morning by a carpet cleaning company employee who alerted authorities; the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office pronounced him dead at the scene. Multiple rounds had been fired and shell casings were recovered, and several residents reported hearing gunshots that night but did not call 911 at the time.

Manick’s mother, Jessica Chappell, described him as a hardworking FedEx employee who was close to his family and urged anyone with information to come forward, saying timely intervention might have saved his life. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the investigation remains open.

If anyone who lived or was near Riverbank Apartments that night has information, will you share what you know with investigators?
