Joseph Albert Rigdon, 29, of Palatka, Florida, was shot and killed on October 28, 2020. Deputies responded that Wednesday evening to reports of gunfire in the 100 block of Lettie Lane and found Rigdon injured near his home just east of Florida 19. He was taken to a local hospital but died; an autopsy the next day confirmed a gunshot wound as the cause of death.

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office opened an active investigation, interviewing neighbors and friends and searching for the firearm. As of the latest update, no suspect has been identified and the weapon has not been recovered. Investigators asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida; tips can be anonymous and may qualify for a reward.

Does anyone who lived near Lettie Lane or who knew Joseph have information that could help move this case forward?
