Amanuel Shume Kebede, 22, was shot to death in his car at the intersection of Ashland Street and St. Augustine Road in Jacksonville’s San Marco area on May 29, 2015. He had recently graduated from Florida State College at Jacksonville and worked as a gas station clerk while aspiring to be an engineer. Kebede had moved to Florida from Ethiopia 14 years earlier and was described by his family as bright and ambitious.

Investigators say Kebede met two men, D’On Jackson and Ronald Hardwick III, for a marijuana deal that turned violent. A witness reported seeing Jackson exit a vehicle and shoot Kebede. Jackson, then 20, was charged with second-degree murder and armed robbery; Hardwick, then 21, faced charges of third-degree murder and armed robbery. The arrests were made in June 2015.

Did anyone in the San Marco area see or hear anything around Ashland Street and St. Augustine Road on the night of May 29, 2015?
