Dominic Jerome Broadus II, known as D.J. Broadus, was found dead on February 3, 2018, behind a residence on Southern States Nursery Road in Macclenny, Florida. He was 31 and had been shot three times at close range in the head. Broadus was unarmed when he was killed and his cellphone was never recovered.

Gardner Kent Fraser, the son of a former Jacksonville and Baker County sheriff’s deputy, was at the scene when deputies arrived. Fraser was taken to the sheriff’s office for questioning but was released and not arrested; the case was later referred to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Police reports show at least one other person was present at the scene, but that person’s identity is redacted.

In January 2021 Fraser pleaded no contest to a tampering with evidence charge for disposing of Broadus’ cellphone and was sentenced to one year in jail. Does anyone have information about who else was at the scene or about the missing cellphone?
