Justice For Murder Victims

Summary

If a murder case is being overlooked due to the victims past, contact higher-ranking police officers or the detectives supervisor. File an official complaint if necessary. Consult a local attorney specializing in criminal law and reach out to local victim advocacy groups for support. In Florida, you can also contact the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and file a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations. Keep a record of all actions taken for future reference.

My son’s father was a felon who had recently gotten out of jail and moved to try to redeem himself. While in Jacksonville he was murdered at his home when he opened his door. The detective has not returned calls and we have no answers. I am concerned that because of his past his death will be overlooked. Is there anything we can do? We just want justice for him.
