Avery Malcolmb Shug McKnight, a 19-year-old African American male, was shot to death on December 3, 2015, in Jacksonville, Florida. He was found on a front porch in the 1200 block of Odessa Street with fatal gunshot wounds. Police say the shooting occurred about 1:40 p.m.; witnesses reported a dark Toyota Camry drove past the intersection, returned, stopped, and a man in the rear passenger seat rolled down the window and fired a rifle.

Two other men, ages 20 and 41, were wounded and treated at UF Health Jacksonville. Investigators located a blood trail from the front of the home to the rear and witnesses heard multiple bursts of gunfire as people ran while the Camry fled the scene. McKnight’s death was linked by authorities to a series of retaliatory, gang-related attacks in Jacksonville that escalated after a confrontation at a November 2015 concert and included other shootings in the area.

If anyone has information about what happened on Odessa Street that afternoon, please share it with investigators.
