Tadarrius Plaisence Wilcox, 24, was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on November 21, 2019, in Jacksonville, Florida. The shooting took place at the intersection of East Eighth and Hubbard streets in the Springfield area; the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrived about 3:25 p.m. and found Wilcox dead in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. Witnesses reported seeing a white Dodge sedan with black rims flee the scene.

Wilcox’s mother described him as an innocent victim, remembering his humor, love, and smile. The shooting came a day after another nearby nonfatal shooting, and community leaders called for a ceasefire and greater safety. A wake and funeral at Greater Beulah Missionary Baptist Church were held.

The investigation remains open, no arrests have been announced, and police have asked for tips, with a possible reward offered for information that could lead to the suspects. If anyone has information about that afternoon at East Eighth and Hubbard, please come forward.
