Taurus Dawson, 30, was shot in the head and killed on September 6, 2013, while walking to his car in the 400 block of Leland Street in Jacksonville, Florida, near his home on Fitzgerald Street. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded but the shooter had already fled; stray shell casings recovered at the scene were later determined to be from a different shooting, which complicated the investigation.

Dawson’s family remembers him as a hard-working, devoted son and brother. He graduated from Frank H. Peterson Academies of Technology and earned a welding certificate from Tulsa Welding School in Jacksonville. His mother, Rose Priscilla Baker, and sister, Mindi Dawson Skeith, describe him as the family’s protector and say they continue to seek justice.

Witnesses have come forward and police have identified a person of interest, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unresolved. If anyone knew Taurus or has information about that night, please come forward to help his family find answers.
