Kim Desmond Varner Jr., 25, was found dead outside his home on East 11th Street in Jacksonville on September 24, 2015. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots as early as 5:45 a.m., and his body was discovered around 7:30 a.m. Varner had been shot multiple times and his car was also riddled with bullets.

Varner, known as Desi, was the son of retired Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office officer Kim Varner Sr. Records note prior arrests for carrying a concealed firearm, resisting arrest, and providing false information to police in a missing person investigation, but those history details do not change that his death remains a loss for family and neighbors. Police seized the vehicle, conducted searches and interviews, and have been reviewing nearby surveillance footage in the investigation.

No arrests have been announced and the motive remains unclear. Does anyone have information about what happened that morning or saw suspicious activity near East 11th Street around 5:45–7:30 a.m. on September 24, 2015?
