Terrance Tyreese Whitley, 30, was found shot to death on March 29, 2020. His body was discovered early that Sunday morning in a parking lot of a vacant business in the 10800 block of Harts Road near Dunn Avenue in Jacksonville. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded around 8 a.m. Family and friends identified Whitley, and those who knew him described the loss as profound; the mother of one of his children posted about her grief on social media.

A Jacksonville man, 31-year-old Joshua Deon Stamper, was arrested a few days after the shooting and charged with second-degree murder plus two counts of possession of a weapon or ammunition by a convicted felon. Stamper’s recorded criminal history includes prior convictions for burglary and grand theft. He was taken into custody without bail and scheduled to appear in court on April 22, 2020. The Sheriff’s Office did not immediately release details of the arrest. The community was asked to provide tips to the Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.

If anyone has information about Whitley’s death or was in the area that morning, please share what you know.
