Javon Turner, 36, of Palm Beach Gardens was shot and killed on June 26, 2020, about 9:30 p.m. in the 100 block of West 17th Street in Riviera Beach. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds, taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, and later died of his injuries. Riviera Beach police say their spot shooter software alerted them to the scene and detectives opened a homicide investigation.

Turner had an extensive criminal history dating to 2002, including felony arrests on weapons and drug charges and multiple state prison terms. In April 2020 he was arrested on charges including possession of a weapon by a Florida felon, using a firearm during a felony, and three drug-related offenses; he was released on bond and had a court date scheduled for July 7, 2020. Police did not initially name any suspects or disclose a motive, and no arrests were reported immediately after the shooting.

The case remained open as detectives followed leads and asked anyone with information to contact them. If anyone knew Turner or observed activity on West 17th Street that night, can you share what you know with investigators?
