Etrice Evondlyn Inman, a 30-year-old Black female, tragically lost her life on April 1, 2018, in Jacksonville, Florida. Etrice, affectionately known as "Trice" or "Tricey," was a beloved member of her community, known for her vibrant personality and dedication to her family and friends. She was attending a party at The Party Spot venue on Easter Sunday when the incident occurred.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office reported that Etrice was found dead in a parking lot on Dunn Avenue, near Lem Turner Road, following a shooting that also claimed the life of Silas Ervin, a 30-year-old Black male.
The shooting took place around 8:46 p.m., and despite the presence of approximately 500 to 1,000 people at the event, no witnesses have come forward with information about the suspects or the circumstances leading to the shooting. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has been investigating the case, but as of now, there have been no arrests or identified suspects. The lack of witness cooperation has significantly hindered the progress of the investigation, leaving the families of the victims in search of justice and answers.
Etrice Inman was a dedicated mother, daughter, and sister. She was pursuing a career in the medical field and had a passion for helping others. Her untimely death has left a void in the lives of those who knew and loved her. The community has been urged to come forward with any information that could assist in solving this case, but the investigation remains open and unresolved.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office continues to seek leads and encourages anyone with information to contact them or provide anonymous tips to First Coast Crime Stoppers. The hope is that with community support, justice can be served for Etrice Inman and Silas Ervin, bringing some measure of closure to their grieving families.
