Amos Lee III, 27, of Jacksonville, Florida, was shot outside his father’s home in the St. Nicholas neighborhood on August 8, 2019 and later died at a hospital. Initial reports described unclear circumstances that prompted a police investigation.

Investigators determined Amos was shot by his father, who said he acted in self-defense during an altercation and was questioned by police. No arrest or formal charges were filed; authorities concluded the father’s account justified his actions. The case prompted strong reactions in the community, and Amos’s mother publicly mourned and questioned how the shooting unfolded.

No other suspects were identified and no trial followed. Did anyone in St. Nicholas at the time see what happened or have information about the events that led up to the shooting?
