Zacchaeus Quashawn Whitley, a 30-year-old African American man, died on November 14, 2021, in Jacksonville, Florida. His passing prompted a Celebration of Life Service at Faith United Miracle Temple and drew sustained attention from the community and law enforcement.

At the time of his death, Whitley had an ongoing criminal case in Duval County Fourth Circuit Court that dated back to February 22, 2020. That matter included motions for bond reduction and notices of intent to seek habitual violent felony offender status and was assigned to Judges Linda F. McCallum and R. Anthony Salem. Whitley also had a prior robbery conviction and had served time at Baker Correctional Institution.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation into his death, and legal proceedings and inquiries surrounding his past and the pending case added complexity to understanding what happened. Does anyone have information about Zacchaeus Whitley or the circumstances around his death?
