Jackie Lee Harris, 52, was found dead in his Jacksonville apartment on August 21, 2015, after police answered reports of gunshots at the La Esperanza complex on University Boulevard. Officers discovered his apartment door open and Harris inside; he had been shot multiple times and the scene pointed to a violent confrontation. Homicide detectives took over the investigation and began collecting evidence and interviewing potential witnesses.

Despite ongoing work by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the case remains unsolved with no arrests reported. Investigators say they have had limited eyewitness accounts and concrete leads, though they continue to follow tips from the community. Harris’ family remembers him as a kind-hearted man who loved fishing and the outdoors; his sister Vikki Harris has spoken about her grief and determination to see justice.

Anyone who knew Jackie or who may have information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
