One man is behind bars, and detectives continue to search for a second suspect after they killed a man in a motel room last week.
On Friday, May 29, District 6 Patrol officers responded to a motel room on Golfair Boulevard. When officers arrived, they found 40-year-old Giavonathan Butler with a gunshot wound. He passed away at the scene.
Our Homicide Unit detectives immediately began working to determine who fired the gun. After reviewing surveillance footage, witness interviews, and physical evidence in the motel room, our detectives identified 25-year-old Alfred Jones III as one of the gunmen in this case.
We received an arrest warrant for Jones on Sunday, May 31. On that same day, our SWAT Team took him into custody, arresting him for Butler’s murder.
We know Jones did not work alone, and we continue to search for the second gunman. If you have details in this case that could lead to an arrest, please call First Coast Crime Stoppers (1.866.845.TIPS). Your information is kept confidential, and you will be eligible for a $5,000 cash reward.
We will not give up on the fight for justice for Butler’s friends and family.
