Jay Powell, a 29-year-old African American man from Saint Petersburg, Florida, was shot and killed on April 22, 2017. Authorities say he was shot multiple times in what appeared to be a targeted attack, and the circumstances initially were unclear. The St. Petersburg Police Department opened an investigation and asked the community for help.

Detectives identified 28-year-old Jamal Wright as the primary suspect; Wright was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Court hearings followed, with prosecutors presenting evidence they said showed motive and intent and the defense challenging that evidence. Powell’s death affected his family and the wider community and drew attention to gun violence in the area.

If anyone has information about Jay Powell, his movements that day, or the shooting itself, please share what is known with the investigators.
