Thomas Eugene Schadowsky was 46 when he died on February 8, 2013, after a confrontation at a Gate gas station on Dunn Avenue near Interstate 295 in Jacksonville, Florida. He was shot in the chest during an argument with Isreal Kevin Williams; Schadowsky drove away and then crashed his truck and work trailer into woods nearby. Police found a bullet hole through the truck’s glass, indicating he had been shot while driving.

Williams, 42, was later convicted by a jury of second-degree murder, shooting or throwing deadly missiles into a vehicle, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The prosecution relied largely on circumstantial evidence: Williams was seen at the gas station in an orange Chevrolet Avalanche and was seen leaving shortly after Schadowsky, and investigators noted actions by Williams such as paying off a debt to obtain the vehicle title, replacing Florida A&M University tags with standard tags, and driving a different car to work. No murder weapon or direct eyewitnesses to the shooting are described.

Schadowsky’s widow, Rebecca Schadowsky, said the verdict brought relief. Did anyone in the area see the truck or the Avalanche around Dunn Avenue that night, or have additional details about the confrontation?
