Walter Zelaya-Mendoza was 17 when his body was found along a path in a wooded area behind homes on Melissa Court in Jacksonville, Florida, on November 10, 2017. The location sits between Ricker Road and Old Middleburg Road North, near Gregory West Elementary School and a basketball court frequently used by children. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office reported he had suffered at least one gunshot wound to the head.

Neighbors recalled hearing gunshots the morning of the discovery, between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Witnesses, including several children, encountered the body; one resident said the sight was terrifying and caused her to cry and run. No weapon was recovered at the scene, and authorities were seeking surveillance footage and anyone with information to assist the investigation.

Did anyone in the area around Melissa Court in November 2017 see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened to Walter?
