Omarion Mekhi Sparrow was a 16-year-old African American male who was shot and killed on October 21, 2018, in Jacksonville, Florida. The shooting happened around 7 p.m. on West 45th Street; officers found Omarion unresponsive inside a home and he was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly afterward. He had celebrated his 16th birthday eight days earlier and his funeral was held on November 3, 2018.

Omarion’s mother, Sharonda Sparrow, spoke publicly about her grief and linked his death to ongoing gun violence in the community while seeking financial help for funeral costs.

Does anyone have information about Omarion or about events on West 45th Street that evening that could help investigators?
