Jax Beach Police Department and FBI still looking for tips in deadly St. Patrick's Day shooting

The Jacksonville FBI Division urges anyone who was at Jacksonville Beach the evening of St. Patrick's Day to send their videos and pictures into their tipline.

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — The sound of waves and laughter ring out through Jacksonville Beach on Monday afternoon, just a week after chaos wreaked havoc on the beach's bar district.

Three back-to-back shootings left one man dead and still no arrests have been made. 

Days after these shootings, the FBI and Jacksonville Beach Police made a tipline for bystanders to submit their videos and pictures from that day.

"This is a great opportunity for us to collect a lot of information from the public to be able to use that then identify individuals that were out there," said Colt Markovsky, Acting Special Agent-in-charge. 

Markovsky said often times, this information from the public tend to be the missing link needed in an investigation.                                                                

"Not one video will tell the whole story what we typically do is use many videos to build a puzzle piece and then that’ll help explain what happened that day and then lead us to finding out any unknown individuals," Markovsky told First Coast News.

According to the Jacksonville Beach Police Department, they have received numerous tips, but cannot give an exact number on how many tips they have received since they're coming in from many agencies.

These agencies are asking for footage from St. Patrick's Day, from the Best Western Oceanfront, the Boardwalk from 3rd Avenue North to Latham Plaza and along 1st Street North. 

They are also looking for footage in the Sneakers Sports Grille parking lot and around Beach Boulevard.

"As law enforcement, we ask [to] send us everything from that day, give us the opportunity to look through it and we’ll see what’s relevant to the case and what’s not relevant we won’t use," said Markovsky. 

Anyone with information or videos of these areas listed can anonymously go to fbi.gov/jaxbeach-shootings to upload or "state any information they feel is important to the successful resolution of these cases," according to JBPD.
