Thomas TJ Daniels, 42, was found dead at his home on West 23rd Street in Jacksonville, Florida, on February 6, 2019. A co-worker who came to check on him discovered Daniels; he had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office immediately treated the death as a homicide.

Investigators linked shell casings from Daniels’ home to other recent shootings using ShotSpotter and NIBIN, a connection that led them to 21-year-old Jamin Lamar Tolliver. Tolliver was arrested on March 6, 2019, and charged in Daniels’ murder as well as in the killing of Philip Gardner 13 days earlier; he was also implicated in a separate armed robbery shooting. Ballistic matches and surveillance footage were described as central pieces of evidence. Daniels’ sister, Karen Smith, said Tolliver was Daniels’ stepson and that a family dispute over the house may have been the motive.

Anyone who knew Daniels or has information about the family dispute or the shootings is asked to come forward.
