Nelson Haywood, a 25-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on November 19, 2017, at a home on West 18th Street in the Grand Park neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. Shots were fired through the door of the residence; other people were in the house but were not injured. Gunfire was detected by ShotSpotter, and Haywood was taken to UF Health Jacksonville, where he died.

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office homicide detectives have called the shooting intentional because the rounds came through the door, but as of the latest information no motive or suspect has been identified and no arrests have been announced. Authorities have offered a cash reward and urged anyone with information to contact them.

Does anyone in the area remember seeing or hearing anything around West 18th Street on the night of November 19, 2017, that could help investigators?
