James William Battle, 34, was shot and killed on September 14, 2014, at 2898 Burke Street in Jacksonville, Florida. He and Darian Lavan Alston were both found dead at the scene; the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident as a shooting rather than a random act and described it as a targeted attack.

Police identified Cedrick Lavadus Washington, 33, as a suspect and charged him with the murders of Battle and Alston. The case description notes forensic work and witness statements were part of the ongoing prosecution, though the motive had not been made clear at the time of reporting.

Friends and family remembered Battle as a beloved member of the community whose life was cut short. Does anyone have information about Battle, Alston, or the events around Burke Street that could help clarify what happened that night?
