Clay County detectives are once again asking Middleburg residents to speak up, after the Sheriff’s Office on Friday pushed out a social-media reel about a double homicide that has sat unsolved since 2007. The video revisits the April 24, 2007 shooting deaths of 16-year-old Chelsea Rohn and 21-year-old Matthew Brumbaugh, who were found inside a home on Jean Court in the Greenwood subdivision. Investigators say the case is still active and they want to hear from anyone who might know something, no matter how minor it seems.
What detectives say about the scene
Investigators have narrowed the shootings to the early hours of April 24, 2007, estimating the window at roughly 12:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. According to officials, there were no signs of forced entry, no witnesses who reported hearing shots, and no one who reported seeing anyone enter or leave the home. The victims’ roommate was investigated and ruled out as a suspect. Those details were outlined by Action News Jax.
Sheriff's reel and the new tip contact
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office reel reiterates that detectives consider the investigation active and are still hunting for fresh leads. Viewers are directed to the SaferWatch app and to anonymous tip lines, with Detective Sean Holmes listed as a point of contact for anyone willing to come forward. The reel is posted on the Clay County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
Keeping the case visible
The sheriff’s office has collaborated with outside advocates and public databases to keep unsolved killings from fading from public memory; Clay County cases have appeared in Project Cold Case listings and in local coverage over the years. That outreach is meant to surface new tips and ensure that evidence and timelines are revisited with modern techniques.
