Frank Harrity, 32, was shot and killed on April 26, 2012, while sitting on the front porch of his home on West 10th Street on Jacksonville’s Northside. The shooting happened about 11:30 p.m. as Harrity spent the evening with friends; a separate gunfight erupted nearby when a dark-colored vehicle approached two people walking and opened fire. The pedestrians returned fire and one of the rounds struck Harrity, who was an innocent bystander. He later died at Shands Hospital.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office describes the death as a tragic case of being caught in crossfire and has asked anyone with information about the vehicle or the people involved to come forward. Crime Stoppers was offered as an anonymous tip option. Despite initial witness statements, the investigation has struggled to gain traction and the case remains unsolved. Project Cold Case has continued to publicize the killing and advocate for the family.

If anyone who lived on or near West 10th Street that night has information about the dark-colored vehicle or the two pedestrians, please contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
