On October 5, 2014, 20-year-old Deanta Holsey was shot and killed on Linda Drive in Northside, Jacksonville. The shooting happened about 7:45 p.m. during what appeared to be a gathering or party; two other men, 17-year-old Prosper Natron Johnson and 26-year-old Bobby Norris III, were also killed. Holsey and Johnson were found dead in the road, while Norris was shot inside the house.

Police say the violence began when two men arrived heavily armed; investigators and local observers indicated the participants were known to one another and that the attack grew out of a prior confrontation rather than being random. Two unrelated arrests were made that night — one for possession of a stolen vehicle and drugs, and one for tampering with evidence — but those arrests were not tied to the killings. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office continued to investigate and asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Deanta Holsey or has information about the events on Linda Drive that night, please share what is known with investigators.
