Jeremy Wilson was 24 and a lifelong resident of Fort Pierce, Florida when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of September 15, 2018 on the 1100 block of Avenue D. Known to family and friends as J, he worked as a painter in the construction industry and was described as well-loved by his community. A bystander transported him to the hospital, but he died of his injuries.

The investigation resulted in the arrest of 23-year-old Rodney Ellis of Fort Pierce on charges of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; he was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail and held without bond. Authorities have not disclosed a motive and the circumstances remain under investigation.

Did anyone in Fort Pierce have information about Jeremy’s movements that night or about the shooting on Avenue D?
