Quinton Gray, 22, was shot and killed on January 5, 2017, in Jacksonville, Florida, after a road rage incident outside Eagle Pointe Apartments on Holly Bell Drive. Gray, a Marine Reservist, and a friend, Cedric Moss, had pulled into a convenience store about the same time as 21-year-old Charles Smith III. An exchange of words followed; both parties initially left, but as Gray drove away Smith allegedly fired between eight and fifteen rounds into Gray’s vehicle.

Gray was struck at least once in the head, lost control of his car, and crashed into another vehicle and a tree. He was taken to UF Health Jacksonville and died of his injuries; Moss suffered non-life-threatening wounds. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested Charles Smith III less than two weeks later and charged him with second-degree murder, attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and shooting into an occupied vehicle; Smith pleaded not guilty. The motive remains unclear and Gray’s family mourned the loss of a young man described as dedicated to his Marine service and with a promising future.

Did anyone in the area see the vehicles or the confrontation that night?
