Stanley Kevin Merriweather III was 16 when he was killed by gunfire early on June 9, 2024, at the Island Pointe Apartments on Island Point Drive on Jacksonville’s Northside. Officers found Merriweather and another 16-year-old, Travaris J. Odol, both suffering multiple gunshot wounds when they responded to reports of a shooting around 4:30 a.m.; both teenagers died at the scene. JSO says neither victim lived at the complex and describes the event as an isolated incident with no additional threat to the community.

Merriweather was born April 11, 2008; funeral arrangements were handled by Sarah L. Carter’s Funeral Home Southside in Jacksonville. The investigation remains active and authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office or CrimeStoppers.
