Two young men are behind bars in a November robbery on Kings Road that left a 15-year-old boy dead and another teen injured, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
Vashaun Dante Dailey, 20, was arrested Wednesday on charges of second-degree murder and armed robbery, while juvenile Jairus Rondell Smith, 17, has been charged with first-degree murder, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Officers and rescue workers were called about 8 p.m. to the scene on Nov. 11. Several neighbors said it sounded like a gun battle when the shooting occurred at King and Academy streets. Police said a handgun was recovered there. The suspects fled in different directions, Smith found about three blocks away with a gunshot wound to an arm, his arrest report said.
Dailey and Smith’s arrest reports do not indicate how the younger man was shot.
First Coast High School student Cordell Williams was later identified as the one who died. A GoFundMe page said he was on his way to Burger King to get food for his siblings when he was caught in the crossfire.
