Megan Simmons, aged 14, was tragically killed on August 10, 2013, in Jacksonville, Florida. She and her best friend, Jazmine Shelton, were shot in a drive-by attack while sleeping in a trailer home located on Missouri Avenue. The incident occurred in the early morning, and dozens of bullets riddled the trailer. Jazmine died at the scene, while Megan succumbed to her injuries later at the hospital.
Authorities believe the shooting was related to a prior altercation involving someone at the trailer, suggesting it may have been an act of retaliation.
Despite thorough investigations—including reexamining the bullets and using new forensic technology—no significant breakthroughs have been made. The case remains unsolved, and detectives have faced challenges due to a lack of cooperation from individuals at the scene. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office continues to review this cold case, hoping new insights or technologies may eventually lead to justice for Megan and Jazmine. Community members are encouraged to share any information that might help solve this case.
