Sherika Edwards, 25, was killed in a drive-by shooting on April 23, 2015, at a street corner in the New Town neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. She was one of two people shot that night; Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office investigators linked the killings to gang activity and described the attack as retaliatory, tied to an earlier incident at a McDonald’s on Cassat Avenue.

Edwards was associated with the PYC gang and was reportedly involved in drug transactions at the corner of Tyler and Windle Streets, an area identified as a central hub for PYC activity. Police said multiple gangs were involved in the cycle of violence that led to her death, and noted a troubling rise in gang-related homicides across the city. Authorities planned to increase patrols in New Town, but investigators were hampered by a lack of witness cooperation in this and other gang-related cases.

If anyone knew Sherika, her movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with Jacksonville law enforcement.
