Florida family is begging for answers after their son a high school football player was shot and killed hours after his graduation
The parents of Jacksonville, Florida standout high school football player Rashaud Fields want some answers. Their child was shot and killed hours after his high school graduation, and they are still asking the community and police for help.
Rashaud Fields’ parents and lawyers are holding a news conference Wednesday morning with plans to announce a new reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
There are billboards up near Raines High School with photos of Rashaud on them as well, to hope someone will step up and say something.
Fields was shot and killed on May 23, just a few hours after graduating from Raines High. Fields was at a graduation party when he was shot, so people were there and had to witness the crime.
Fields had a full scholarship to play football at Keiser University in South Florida. He had just committed to play college football before getting shot and killed.
If you know any information, please help the grieving family get some answers.
Anyone with information about Fields’ murder is asked to call the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500, CrimeStoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS or Phillips & Hunt, the family’s civil lawyers, at 904-444-4444.
