Christopher Thurston, 20, of Jacksonville was shot and killed on July 23, 2017 at a Mobil on Blanding Boulevard and Duclay Road around 9 p.m. According to investigators, an argument inside the store escalated; the suspect waited outside and opened fire as Thurston exited. Thurston was taken to Orange Park Medical Center and died of his wounds. Another person inside the store suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office identified 36-year-old Julian Maxwell Williams as the primary suspect. Williams, described as a felon, was charged with murder, aggravated battery and possession of a firearm by a felon. He fled the area and was later located in Houston, Texas, where he was arrested after attempting to use a false name; the arrest followed an out-of-state warrant from JSO. Reports say the shooting was a targeted attack and multiple witnesses were present.
