George Angelo DeCosta, also known as Raheem RahRah, was 46 and living in Jacksonville, Florida when he was shot to death on December 1, 2016. He was riding a bicycle through the Moncrief neighborhood to visit a friend when he was found on Droad Street having been shot more than ten times. Police response to the scene was delayed because officers were tied up at a bank robbery and hostage situation across town.

No one witnessed the shooting and the killer’s identity remains unknown. Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office used K-9 teams and closed nearby streets during the initial search, but investigators have not publicly identified significant leads. DeCosta’s partner of 26 years, ReNee Sanders, his sons Riccardo and Courtney, and his mother Carol DeCosta survive him; the family says his death has had a lasting emotional effect.

A cash reward is being offered for information that could lead to an arrest. If anyone knew George, was in the Moncrief area that day, or has information about this shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
