Michael Perry was 21 when he was shot and killed on August 7, 2008, in Jacksonville, Florida. His body was recovered in a neighborhood described as having a high level of violent crime. The death is classified as a homicide, but the case remains unsolved with few public leads on suspects or motive.

Investigators with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office have struggled to develop credible witnesses or tangible evidence that could move the case forward. Michael’s case is among many cold homicides in the city where the passage of time, loss of evidence, and witness reluctance have complicated efforts to find answers. The Sheriff’s Office continues to ask anyone with information to come forward; anonymous tips and reward offers have been used to encourage community cooperation.

If anyone knew Michael Perry, saw activity in that area on August 7, 2008, or has information that could help, please contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office or submit an anonymous tip.
