Christopher Andrew Vandewater, 28, of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, was shot and killed on November 15, 2015, in Jacksonville. He had been released from the Duval County jail earlier that day after serving a sentence for drug-related charges and had visited his five-year-old daughter before the shooting. While traveling with a friend on San Pablo Road, they stopped at the intersection of William Davis Parkway when a car pulled up beside them and shots were fired, striking Vandewater in the head. He was taken to the Mayo Clinic but died of his injuries.

Investigators identified 31-year-old Justin Matthew Sowers as the primary suspect. Sowers was reportedly in a relationship with Michelle Sarah Massey, the mother of Vandewater’s daughter, and allegedly held longstanding animosity toward Vandewater that included a belief Vandewater had set him up for an arrest in Texas. Cellphone records placed Sowers near the scene, a black vehicle was linked to him that night, and police recovered a 9mm Beretta handgun plus drugs during a raid at the house where Sowers and Massey lived. Inmates later told authorities Sowers had bragged about killing Vandewater, and Sowers was charged with murder and attempted murder; Massey was arrested on drug-trafficking charges.

Vandewater’s daughter and family were directly affected by his death. Does anyone have information about Christopher Vandewater, his final movements that day, or the people connected to him?
