On June 3, 1982, Russell Edward Jocko Davidson Jr., a 12-year-old boy, was found shot to death in Longwood, Florida, alongside his father, Russell Edward Davidson Sr. (also known as Rusty Day), and a family friend, Garth McRae. All three victims were discovered with gunshot wounds described as execution-style; the family dog was also killed. Investigators have treated the killings as connected to drug activity and have long believed the victims knew their assailant.

The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office lists the case as unsolved. Over the years there have been various leads and theories; in 2011 and again in 2015 some attention focused on Ron Sanders, a guitarist and former bandmate of Rusty Day, but no arrests or charges followed. The lack of resolution has left family and community members seeking answers.

Does anyone have information about the Longwood area in 1982 or knew the victims that could help this investigation?
