Jessie Sumlar was 30 when he was found dead in his Northside Jacksonville apartment at the Water’s Edge complex on Broward Road. His mother requested a welfare check on July 19, 2018, after she could not reach him; a maintenance worker entering the unit discovered a violent scene with blood splattered around. Investigators determined Sumlar had been stabbed 18 times and his throat had been slashed and estimated he was killed sometime between July 16 and July 17. Several belongings were missing, including his wallet, multiple pairs of shoes, and his car.

Detectives traced postmortem use of Sumlar’s credit cards to surveillance footage showing a man using the stolen cards; an anonymous tip identified that man as Omar Lewis. Sumlar’s Chevrolet Impala was found burned on July 20 about half a mile from a former residence of Lewis. Forensic work tied Lewis to the apartment: DNA from a cigar butt, a bloody fingerprint on the blinds, and a bloody shoeprint matched items linked to him. Omar Lewis was arrested and charged in connection with Sumlar’s killing.

Does anyone have information about Sumlar’s movements in mid-July 2018 or about sightings near Broward Road that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
