Described by her daughter-in-law as a "sweetheart and an angel," Sturdivant's untimely death shocked and saddened the community. Her family is demanding justice and hoping for the swift apprehension and prosecution of the perpetrator.
Following the incident, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) launched a thorough investigation. They were initially alerted to the shooting by someone who flagged down patrol officers. After detaining two individuals at the scene, authorities arrested 57-year-old Bobby Simpson.
