Darrell KiJuana Rutledge was 20 when he was shot and killed on March 31, 2016, at the Kings Ridge Apartments in the 2100 block of West 12th Street in Jacksonville, Florida. Known as Hightop, he was standing near another man when a vehicle drove by and opened fire, striking both men and damaging a nearby car and an apartment. Rutledge was taken to UF Health Jacksonville and died early the next morning.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded after shots were reported; officers did not find victims at the scene but later learned Rutledge and the other wounded man arrived separately at the hospital. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open. First Coast Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information leading to an arrest.

Rutledge is remembered by family as a devoted father and an active member of his church. If anyone has information about who was in the vehicle that fired on West 12th Street that night, please come forward.
