Jaquan Leonard, 21, was fatally shot on January 9, 2016, in Miami’s Liberty City. He was found with gunshot wounds on the 700 block of Northwest 65th Street and was taken by Miami Fire Rescue to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he died. His death was one of three shootings in Miami that day that occurred within a few hours and close to one another; police have not established a direct link between the incidents and are investigating them separately.

Leonard was a former student and football player at Miami Northwestern Senior High who hoped football might open opportunities beyond his neighborhood. Community members and former coaches have urged more support for local youth, including vocational education and stricter enforcement of gun laws, as a response to ongoing gun violence. The Miami Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward, and Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $3,000 reward for tips that lead to a suspect.

If anyone knew Jaquan or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with police or Crime Stoppers.
