On December 12, 2017, 11-month-old Arielle Trotter died in a fire set during an attack that also killed her parents, Ariyan Johnson and Qua’Sean Trotter, at a home on India Avenue in the Arlington area of Jacksonville, Florida. Investigators found the Christmas tree had been set on fire; Ariyan and Qua’Sean suffered gunshot wounds while Arielle died of smoke inhalation. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office classified the incident as a triple homicide.

Authorities say the fire appeared intended to conceal evidence, and investigators have at times suspected a connection to a robbery, though no specific motive has been confirmed. The family continues to press for answers and justice for Arielle and her parents.

If anyone has information about what happened that night, please contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
