Ray Gary Jones, a 39-year-old African American male, was found deceased on March 28, 2013, in Jacksonville, Florida. His death remains an unsolved homicide. Despite investigative efforts, no significant breakthroughs have been made, and the case remains open.
Jones's funeral services were held on April 6, 2013, at Christ In Action Church in Jacksonville. He was survived by his mother, LaGrace Furlow; stepfather, Paul Furlow; two sons; twin daughters; an unborn son; three siblings; and numerous other relatives and friends.
As of now, there have been no arrests or identified suspects in connection with the homicide of Ray Gary Jones. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office continues to seek information from the public to aid in solving this case.
It is important to note that a different individual named Ray L. Jones III was involved in a separate criminal case in Jacksonville, Florida. This individual was convicted in the 2017 murder of 86-year-old veteran Melvin Clark and is currently serving a life sentence. However, this case is unrelated to the 2013 homicide of Ray Gary Jones.
The lack of resolution in Jones's case underscores the challenges law enforcement faces in solving certain homicides. Community assistance and information can be crucial in bringing closure to such cases.
