Ja’Quan Lutrell Walker was 17 when he was fatally shot in Jacksonville, Florida, on the evening of August 8, 2019. Known as John-John, he loved basketball, video games and rapping and had been scheduled to begin touring as a rapper later that month. He was born July 3, 2002, to Precious Walker and Johnny Lutrell Jones.

Authorities say Ja’Quan was not the intended target. Emergency responders treated him at the scene but he died of his injuries. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation, conducted interviews and collected forensic evidence, but no arrests were made immediately after the shooting and the case remained open.

Vigils and memorials were held by family and the community. If anyone has information that could help detectives identify those responsible, please come forward.
