Phillip Leander Bellamy, 43, was shot to death on May 22, 2024, inside a blue pickup truck on Webster Street in the Lackawanna neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. Officers arriving around 12:40 p.m. found Bellamy with a gunshot wound; Jacksonville Fire and Rescue pronounced him dead at the scene. Witnesses said one or two suspects in dark clothing approached the vehicle, fired multiple shots and then fled in an unknown direction. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is investigating and seeking public tips to identify the perpetrators.

Bellamy was born May 28, 1980, in Jacksonville. He attended Robert E. Lee Senior High School, earned a cosmetology certification and worked as a licensed barber. He also coached football for the Stingrays and was described as a community leader. He is survived by children La’Tahja Leandria Bellamy, Zebreke Antonio Bellamy, Leandrea Latrice Bellamy, Daytia Bellamy and Pherrari Bellamy; a grandson, Khayir Lamont Jackson; brothers James Demery and Kennard Demery; a sister, JaNee Demery; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his grandmothers, Emma Murphy and Mary Bellamy.

Does anyone who was in the Lackawanna area around noon on May 22 remember seeing a blue pickup or suspicious activity that could help investigators identify the shooters?
