Cold Case Spotlight

On October 6, 2008, Stephen Douglas Wiggins, 56, was found, bleeding and unresponsive, on the roadside in the area of 5100 Colonial Avenue by police responding to reports of gunshots. He was pronounced dead at the scene; no suspects have been identified. It is believed that Mr. Wiggins had left Mattie's Landing bar on Lake Shore Blvd shortly before his murder. He was only a few blocks from his house when he was shot multiple times just feet from his, still running, parked car, the driver side door left open. Robbery does not appear to be the motive as Mr. Wiggins' wallet was found on him. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff`s Office at (904)630-0500 or email JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org. Those who wish to remain anonymous and possibly receive a CASH Reward up to $3,000, can call Crime Stoppers at (866) 845-TIPS (8477).
