A Jacksonville family is pleading for justice after Tayvon Sellers was shot outside his apartment Sunday, with police still searching for the person responsible.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville family is pleading for answers after a father of four was shot and killed outside his Arlington apartment early Sunday morning.

Family members say Tayvon Sellers was a devoted father, brother and fiancé. The shooting happened around 1:40 a.m. March 22 at the Gregory Cove Apartments off Justina Road, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators said Sellers and another man were outside the complex when someone opened fire. Sellers was found by the walkway and taken to a hospital, where he later died. The other man was shot in the leg and drove himself to the hospital. No arrests have been made.

Sellers’ younger sister, Raveen Smith, described her brother as the heart of the family.

“That’s my best friend,” she said. “That’s my first love.”

Smith said her brother was full of life and laughter, known for his silly sense of humor and his love of family dinners every Sunday at their mother’s house.

“He was love. He is like, the epitome of it,” she said. “He woke up every day dedicated to changing his life so he could be there for his girls.”

Family members say Sellers had been engaged to his longtime partner, Beonca Allen, and was planning to get married in November.

“I woke up to this man every day for the last nine years,” Allen said through tears. “Please, please, speak up.”

The family is now urging anyone with information about the shooting to contact police.

“We want you to go to somebody,” the family said. “Say something. Talk to these people. He was a father. He was a good guy, and he didn’t deserve any of this.”

“It was the devil’s work,” his younger sister added. “This was the work of evil.”

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said the investigation remains active but has not released any new developments in identifying a suspect.
