David Goldsmith, a 49-year-old African American man, was found dead inside his apartment at the Magnolia Terrace complex in Jacksonville, Florida, on September 13, 2016. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office breached the apartment door after responding to reports of gunfire; neighbors said they heard shots between about 10:30 PM and midnight the previous night. Authorities determined Goldsmith had been shot. Neighbors described him as quiet and kind; his family mourned him as intelligent and devoted to them.

Shortly after officers entered the unit, Goldsmith’s 22-year-old son, Davon Goldsmith, was arrested at the scene and charged with resisting police after trying to enter the apartment and becoming combative; he was held on $5,000 bail. Davon was not charged with his father’s murder. The police had not released a motive and continued to seek information that could identify and lead to the perpetrator.

If anyone saw or heard anything at Magnolia Terrace that night, can you share details that might help investigators?
