James Lee Coon Jr. was 19 and from Jacksonville, Florida. He was last seen leaving a Jacksonville hospital on January 22, 1995; his red Honda Civic was found abandoned behind a convenience store the next day, prompting a missing-persons report and an investigation.

Investigators concluded Coon had been kidnapped, robbed, and murdered by Pressley Alston and his half-brother Dilianjan Ellison. According to court documents, the two planned to rob him, forced him to drive to a remote spot on Heckscher Drive, took about $80–$100 from his wallet after searching his car, and later shot and killed him when others approached the scene.

A woman living with Alston, Gwenetta Faye McIntyre, became suspicious after noticing Alston’s behavior and seeing his possession of her .32 revolver; she reported questions he asked about decomposition and fingerprints to her minister, who alerted the sheriff’s office. Police recovered the revolver in her home and arrested Alston and Ellison. Alston was convicted of first-degree murder, armed robbery, and armed kidnapping and was sentenced to death.

Did anyone in Jacksonville at the time have information about Coon’s movements near the hospital or Heckscher Drive that could shed more light on the case?
