Willie James Dornes Jr., 65, known as Frog, was shot multiple times and killed outside a Shell gas station on Edgewood Avenue in Jacksonville on January 6, 2018. He was remembered by family and friends as friendly, smiling, and well-known in his community.

Authorities say the killing happened during a violent spree that began when a 31-year-old mother confronted a speeding motorist. Three men in a black Ford Expedition then attacked her; one tried to shoot her but the gun did not fire and she and her children escaped. The same group, still in the SUV, were later involved in a stabbing and a homicide nearby. The SUV was later seen at a hospital with a stabbed man and stolen items, including a motorized dirt bike and a Hoverboard, in the back.

Police identified three men connected to the incidents. Alvin James Gaines, 27, was charged with armed robbery related to the assault on the woman; Kendre Shelton Mann, 26, was charged with accessory after the fact in Dornes’ death; and Donovan Arsenio Smith, 27, was identified as the third man and was later arrested and charged with the murder of Willie Dornes.

Did anyone in Jacksonville see the black Ford Expedition or the men involved that afternoon?
