Jaquann Tarshon Mitchell, a 23-year-old, was one of the victims in a triple homicide that occurred on September 23, 2023, at the JTB Apartments in Jacksonville, Florida. Mitchell, along with 24-year-old Keonte Johnson and 3-year-old Kae'Lynn Matthews, were shot and killed in the parking lot of the apartment complex.
The incident is believed to have resulted from a dispute in the common area of the apartment complex, with the victims present possibly for the sale of a dog.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has been investigating the case, but as of the current date, no arrests have been made.
The families of the victims have filed wrongful death lawsuits against the property owner and manager of the JTB Apartments, alleging negligence due to inadequate security measures. The lawsuits argue that the deaths could have been prevented if the complex had provided proper security, including functional gates and security guards. The property had a history of burglaries, armed and aggravated batteries, and other criminal activities in the months leading up to the shooting.
The families are also urging anyone with information about the suspects in these killings to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. The loss of Jaquann Mitchell and the other victims has been described as catastrophic for their families, who are seeking damages and accountability for the tragic event.
