Curtis Booker Jr. was 19 when he was found dead in Jacksonville, Florida, on December 26, 2017. His body was discovered near East Union and Ionia streets, close to the Old City Cemetery, lying in the street with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. A nearby resident reported hearing shots around 1:30 a.m. before the body was found.

Booker’s mother, Thelma Maya Huton, said she believed the shooter was someone her son knew. Booker had told her the previous day that he wanted to take her out to eat. A memorial of candles, teddy bears, and balloons was created at the site. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has not announced any arrests or released identifying details about suspects or a motive, and the gunman’s identity remains unknown.

If anyone has information about Curtis Booker’s death or was in the East Union and Ionia area that night, please come forward.
