Chadwick Mark Hoilman, a 44-year-old white male from Jacksonville, Florida, was tragically killed on May 8, 2018. Hoilman, a father of two daughters, was shot outside a home on Alvin Road on Jacksonville's Westside. The incident occurred after an argument outside the residence, which led to the fatal shooting. Hoilman did not reside on Alvin Road but had relatives living in the area.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) responded to the scene and identified Hoilman as the victim.
The investigation revealed that the suspect, described as a Hispanic male in his 30s, fled the scene on foot. Despite extensive efforts by law enforcement, including canvassing the surrounding neighborhoods, the suspect was not immediately apprehended. Witnesses reported seeing the suspect arguing with Hoilman before the shooting, and he was last seen running into a wooded area nearby. The suspect was described as approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall with short black hair, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
The JSO classified the case as a homicide and continued to investigate the circumstances surrounding Hoilman's death. A handgun was recovered at the scene, but the exact number of shots fired remained unclear. The community expressed concern over the lack of an arrest, and the JSO urged anyone with information to come forward. Despite the ongoing investigation, no arrests had been made, and the suspect remained at large.
Hoilman's death left a significant impact on his family and the local community. As a father of two young girls, his loss was deeply felt by those who knew him. The investigation into his murder continued, with law enforcement seeking any leads that could help bring the perpetrator to justice. The case highlighted the challenges faced by the JSO in solving violent crimes and the importance of community cooperation in such investigations.
