Steven Thomas Lindsay, a 73-year-old resident of Jacksonville, Florida, tragically passed away on August 17, 2022. His death was the result of a violent crime, which shocked and saddened his family and friends. Lindsay was found dead inside his home located in the Riverside neighborhood of Jacksonville. The circumstances surrounding his death were initially unclear, but it was later determined that foul play was involved.
Lindsay, known for his adventurous spirit and vibrant personality, was deeply mourned by those who knew him.
The investigation into Lindsay's death revealed that he had been both strangled and shot. His home was ransacked, and several personal belongings were stolen, including his checkbook and identification documents. The perpetrators used these items to write checks to themselves, ultimately stealing approximately $9,000 from Lindsay's account. The crime scene was captured on a Ring doorbell camera, which showed the suspects entering and leaving Lindsay's home. This footage played a crucial role in identifying and apprehending the suspects.
Two men, Ricoh Tru-Love Stinson, 28, and Cameron Stewart, 22, were arrested in connection with Lindsay's murder. They were captured by U.S. Marshals in New Orleans and charged with second-degree murder, armed burglary, and grand theft auto. The arrest report detailed the brutal nature of the crime, describing how the suspects strangled and shot Lindsay before leaving him for dead. The suspects were also seen on camera wheeling a suitcase out of Lindsay's home and driving away in his Honda.
The case against Stinson and Stewart is ongoing, with both men facing serious charges for their involvement in Lindsay's death. The investigation has brought some measure of closure to Lindsay's family, but the loss of their loved one remains a painful reality. Lindsay's daughter, Jenny Schwartz, expressed her disbelief and sorrow over the senseless violence that took her father's life. She described her father as a kind and generous man with a great sense of humor, who will be sorely missed by many.
