The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office described the suspect as a man in his early 20s, distinguished by face tattoos. Authorities have released surveillance photos in hopes that community members might recognize the suspect. "Do you recognize this man?" the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office posted on their Facebook page, seeking to quickly to leverage the power of social media in their efforts to locate the individual.
Local residents are encouraged to contact the authorities with any information that might aid in the investigation. In a statement obtained by First Coast News, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office urged anyone who might have knowledge of the suspect's identity to call 904-630-0500 or email [email protected]. For those wishing to maintain anonymity, a call to Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS may be placed potentially to receive a cash reward for valuable information that leads to an arrest.
