On October 27, 2014, 15-year-old Demantrae Trae Franklin was shot and killed at the Eureka Gardens apartment complex in Jacksonville, Florida. Trae, a high school student and band member, had gone to meet friends when he was ambushed and shot multiple times and was later found by a witness near the apartment building.

Despite community efforts and the family’s pleas for information, the killing remains unsolved. Trae’s family continues to honor his memory through love, prayer, and community gatherings while hoping for justice one day.

If anyone knew Trae, was at Eureka Gardens that evening, or has information that could help, please come forward.
