On November 6, 2024, just before midnight, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) officers responded to a reported shooting at New Kings Road and Edgewood Avenue. Upon arrival, officers found 44-year-old Travis Gettis with a gunshot wound. Despite medical efforts, Gettis later died at a local hospital.
Evidence quickly led homicide detectives to a suspect vehicle registered to 20-year-old Lavertis Reed. Within 16 hours of the shooting, JSO’s CPR and Gang Unit, assisted by the Aviation Unit, located Reed at a shopping center off Dunn Avenue. Reed was detained, interviewed, and subsequently charged with murder. He has been booked into the county jail.
The investigation into the death of Mr. Gettis is ongoing.
