Senseless Murder of Rico Tillman, Jr.
January 20, 2015
Rico Tillman was a 20-year-old football player at Jacksonville University when he was killed while trying to defend his teammates in a nightclub fight at “Jazzco the Club”, 8550 Arlington Expressway, in the early morning hours of Sunday, on March, 19th 2000. His family hopes someone remembers something about the night he was stabbed. Police believe any information could be useful in finding the killer.
Rico never recovered from the stabbing and passed away on April, 10th. Years passed and there were no arrests in Rico`s death.
At present, we are still looking for the suspect to bring the suspect to justice and bring closure to this case and allow the family to continue in their healing," said Chief Mike Bruno, who is in charge of the Jacksonville Sheriff`s Office Cold Case Division. Bruno said there were a lot of people at the club that night and someone knows who stabbed the young man who was just trying to do the right thing. He believes with advances in DNA technology and new eyes looking at the case, time can be an ally, nearly 15 years later. "It`s solvable. There were so many people there that night. I mean, it feels like it`s a case that we should be able to solve. It really does," said Bruno.
Bruno said police just need that one person to come forward with that one piece of evidence. If you can help, call Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS(8477). Remember, you don`t have to give your name.

Atlantic Beach Sexual Assault Suspect Sought
August 27, 2014
Fernandina Beach Vandals Sought
August 12, 2014
The Fernandina Beach Police Department has announced a reward for information leading to the arrest of individuals responsible for the grand theft and felony vandalism associated with the King Neptune / Poseidon statue located on South Fletcher Avenue. The reward has been set at $1000.00 and persons with information can remain anonymous. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-(866) 845-8477 or the Fernandina Beach Police Department at (904) 277-7342.
During the early morning hours of August 5th two suspects went to Paradiso, located at 3036 South Fletcher Avenue, and substantially destroyed the impressive front yard statue of King Neptune. The suspects physically broke the arm from the statue and removed it, along with the trident. This is the third such incident of damage to this beautiful new South Fletcher landmark in recent months, and the third trident to be stolen in this fashion. During the most recent incident the suspects caused such a significant amount of damage that the owners are now considering having the statue removed.
Because these incidents of felony vandalism and theft have persisted, local law enforcement officials have the added concern that these offenders may be personally targeting the residents of Paradiso. In addition, based on evidence left at the scene, as well as the nature of the thefts, we remain concerned that the suspects might view their actions as a harmless prank, not fully understanding the gravity of their behavior or the financial or emotional impact that these thefts have caused the owners of the statue.
The vandals left a taunting note affixed to the statue, leading investigators to believe that these thefts may be resolved once students return to college. Many college fraternities utilize the trident to symbolize their connection and visual association with Greek mythology.
