On September 7, 2012, Richard Key, a 25-year-old man from Jacksonville, Florida, was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on Jacksonville's Eastside. According to reports, Key had been called out of a convenience store, and shortly after, he was gunned down. The white vehicle involved in the shooting, described as being occupied by two to three men, was seen circling the neighborhood before the incident and speeding away afterward.
Despite efforts by police and appeals from Key’s family, the case remains unsolved.
Key was a father of three, and his family, especially his mother, has continued to hold vigils and plead for information that could lead to an arrest. They have urged anyone with knowledge about the crime to come forward and help bring closure to the case. As of now, the investigation is still ongoing, and Jacksonville authorities encourage the public to provide any tips that may lead to justice for Richard Key.
