Seventeen-year-old Jocori Elijah Jones was killed in a drive-by shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, on October 31, 2021. He was walking with friends on East 19th Street near Henry Brown Kooker Park in the early hours of Halloween when a silver sedan approached and shots were fired. Jocori was struck multiple times; his father, who heard the gunfire from home, found him critically injured and Jocori died at the scene.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation into the shooting, and the family says no arrests had been made several months afterward. Jocori’s mother, Courtney Jones, and other relatives organized marches and community events to raise awareness and press for information. Friends and family remember Jocori as joyful and quick to make people laugh; they say his loss has left a deep void.

The investigation remains unresolved and the sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information to come forward. If anyone knew Jocori or saw activity on East 19th Street that night, can you share what you know?
