Diego Morales Perez was 16 when he was fatally shot on December 14, 2018, in Jacksonville, Florida. He was in a car at the Baymeadows Apartments with another man when two people approached and opened fire. The pair managed to drive to the Fidelity Bank parking lot across the street to wait for help, but Diego died of his wounds before assistance arrived.

Investigators linked shell casings and projectiles from the scene to a firearm that was later recovered, and that evidence helped identify a suspect. In September 2019 a man was charged with murder in the double shooting that killed Diego. His death was one of many that contributed to Jacksonville’s high 2018 homicide total.

If anyone knew Diego, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help explain what happened that night, please come forward.
