Arnett Rollins Found Murdered on Spring Hammock
July 20, 2016

Police have identified a man whose body was found Tuesday, July 19th along Spring Hammock Road on Jacksonville`s Northside.

The Jacksonville Sheriff`s Office said it is investigating the death of Arnett Irving Rollins, 37, as a homicide, but investigators did not say how he died.

JSO Homicide Sgt. Michael Paul said a man was walking alongside the road Tuesday morning and saw a shoe on the road. He noticed that it was new and decided to look for the other shoe.

He found it in the bushes about 20 feet from the road still on Rollins` foot.

Traffic homicide detectives said that it does not appear Rollins was hit by a vehicle, despite his body`s proximity to the road.

"Due to this being a roadway, we thought that there`s a possibility that the individual could have been struck by a car. We have determined that the individual`s injuries are consistent with a homicide, not a traffic homicide," Paul said. "At this point, I am not releasing what his injuries are due to the fact that we have not had anybody report anything suspicious in the area."

Investigators searched the heavily wooded area around the scene for any evidence, including the weapon used to kill Rollins.

Investigators believe Rollins` body had been there 24 to 48 hours.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Jacksonville Sheriff`s Office at 904-630-0500 or First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-8477, you WILL remain anonymous and could be eligible for a $3,000 cash reward!.

Enhanced Reward Up to $5,000 in Fernandina Beach Homicide
June 21, 2016

The early morning murder of Johnell Richo outside his home on Gum Street in early May, remains the top priority of local law enforcement.  An apparent link to an incident that occurred in the 900 block of South 12^th Street on May 1^st has been characterized by “local chatter” as the motive for “retaliation” and investigators have been primarily focused on that relationship and those involved.

John Patrick Wilson was charged with attempted murder and armed robbery in the 12^th Street incident after victims and witnesses eventually came forward to give statements to police, saying that Wilson attempted to rob two men at gunpoint and fired at least two shots during the confrontation.  Wilson, a violent career criminal and former resident of Fernandina Beach, was visiting Amelia Island from Tennessee for the Shrimp Festival weekend and was residing with his mother and stepfather, Johnell Richo, at their Gum Street home. 

Neighborhood discussion still centers on specific information about how events unfolded during the early morning hours of May 2, 2016, but those with knowledge have been reluctant to provide information to police investigators.  Meanwhile, police officials met with local community leaders last month to encourage them to assist in facilitating communication between the police and the community.  Yesterday investigators and police officials met with State Attorney Angela Corey to brief her on the status of the investigation and to discuss investigative options.    

The Police Department is once again asking that those individuals with knowledge of this tragic incident, or with information about those who might have knowledge, to contact Detective Sergeant Tracey Hamilton at (904) 310-3211.  The Fernandina Beach Police Department has a strong commitment to solving this case and is currently working with other law enforcement agencies to increase focus and resources onto this investigation.     If you have any information no matter how small you think it might be... PLEASE contact First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-8477... You Will Remain Anonymous and Could Receive a Cash Reward of up to $5,000 in this case!
