Murder investigation leads to arrest in 2020 death

Jacksonville — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested Cierra Washington on a warrant for second degree murder in the death of a man who remains unidentified by police.

JSO says Washington was already in the Duval County Jail on unrelated charges.

Homicide Detectives interviewed the 30 year-old Jacksonville woman in connection with the September 2020 murder of a 25-year old man who was found in a wooded area on the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail off Imeson Road. His death was listed as a homicide after the medical examiner determined a gunshot wound was the cause of death.

Following the interview, an arrest warrant for second degree murder was obtained.
