James Williams was 26 when he was fatally shot on August 31, 2009, in Jacksonville, Florida. The shooting occurred in the evening as Williams was walking in a residential neighborhood; multiple shots were fired from a vehicle in what authorities described as a drive-by shooting and Williams died at the scene.

Investigators have said the incident may have been gang-related and noted an uptick in similar violent incidents in the area at that time. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has appealed for witnesses and continued to seek leads, but the case remains unsolved and is one of several homicides tied to broader efforts by authorities to address the region’s violent crime rates.

If anyone has information about that evening or saw a vehicle or people acting suspiciously in the neighborhood on August 31, 2009, please contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office with tips.
