On May 28, 2017, Hakeem Busch, aged 35, was shot and killed in Jacksonville, Florida. The incident occurred during a violent Memorial Day weekend, which saw multiple shootings across Duval County. Busch was found shot to death on Newbolt Court in Jacksonville's Westside. A woman was also injured in the same shooting but survived. Despite the severity of the incident and the number of other shootings during that period, the case remains unsolved, and law enforcement has not provided information
about any suspects or motives.
Hakeem Busch's family continues to seek justice for his death, urging anyone with information to come forward. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) is actively seeking tips that might help solve the case. Community members are encouraged to provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers, which offers a cash reward for details that could lead to an arrest. Authorities have highlighted the importance of public cooperation in solving cases like Busch's, especially as Jacksonville struggled with a high rate of unsolved homicides that year.
