JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Four years after 18-year-old Rashaud Fields lost his lif<\/a>e in a shooting at a graduation party on Pine Estates Road East near Leonid Road, the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office has yet to make an arrest in the case.<\/p>\n

But detectives aren\u2019t giving up, JSO said.<\/p>\n

In a post on Saturday to mark the grim anniversary<\/a>, JSO said investigators want to bring closure to Fields\u2019 family members, who continue to fight for answers.<\/p>\n

That fight is focused mainly on the community, because Fields wasn\u2019t alone when he was killed, police said.<\/p>\n

Today marks 4 years since 18-year-old Rashaud Fields lost his life in a shooting at a graduation party on Pine Estates Road East near Leonid Road. Despite there being many witnesses present, no one has been arrested for his murder. But, our detectives haven\u2019t given up the search\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/rlKuY2gOCk<\/a><\/p>\n

Many witnesses were at the May 23, 2022, graduation party, which took place just hours after Fields walked across the stage to get his Raines High School diploma.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know someone knows something. Say something and help bring this family justice,\u201d JSO wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

The post highlighted Fields\u2019 football scholarship to Keiser University and his dream of finishing college and playing in the NFL.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was the life of everybody,\u201d Janice Fields, Rashaud\u2019s mother, said. \u201cThe principal said he was a leader. He was not a follower. He was always a leader. He loves to push the young fellas on the football team. That just was the great person that Rashaud was. He was born to be great.\u201d<\/p>\n

During an event to support the Fields family in April, District 10 Councilwoman Ju\u2019Coby Pittman said the lack of answers is frustrating.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really don\u2019t know if he was a target or not. We really don\u2019t know that because no one is talking, no one wants to be a snitch, and that\u2019s unfortunate,\u201d Pittman said.<\/p>\n

Janice Fields said she will not stop fighting until she gets answers about who killed her son.<\/p>\n
