RaKwon Leon IMan Backey was 19 when he was shot and killed in the driveway of his home on Shelby Creek Road South in Jacksonville on August 1, 2017. The shooting occurred in a neighborhood off Normandy Boulevard, just west of Herlong Recreational Airport. Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office investigators responded and opened a homicide investigation.

Family described RaKwon as hardworking and loving; he worked at a shoe store, enjoyed video games, and helped care for his younger siblings. Neighbors said he had no known enemies and was well-liked across age groups. There were no signs of robbery and police said the motive was unclear, so investigators examined his social media and cellphone records for leads.

The case remained unsolved despite family appeals for information. If anyone knew RaKwon, his routines, or anything about that night, please share what you know with investigators.
