A jury returned a not guilty verdict for the man accused of Gray’s murder, as well as two counts of attempted murder.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Court records acquired by First Coast News on Friday reveal that a man alleged to have shot and killed a Jacksonville resident in 2019 has been acquitted of all charges concerning the victim’s death.
Izhan Scott, who was 18 at the time, was found not guilty of all charges related to the death of Trevor Gray.
The jury delivered the verdict Thursday, according to court records.
Scott faced charges including one count of second-degree murder, two counts of attempted second-degree murder, and one count for shooting or throwing deadly missiles.
In January 2019, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office apprehended Scott, alleging he was involved in the fatal shooting of Gray following a dispute at a Circle K located in the 3600 block of St. Johns Bluff Road South.
Gray was accompanied by two other people at the time. JSO said one of them got into an altercation with a man in the parking lot. After, Gray and the two others went back to their vehicle and drove away.
The man got inside his vehicle and followed the three to an intersection of St. Johns Bluff Road and Bahia Drive where he opened fire and hit Gray, police said.
Officers were called at 9 p.m. to Atlantic Boulevard and St. Johns Bluff Road where they discovered Gray suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital where he later died.
Fifteen-year-old Charles Lyodschuoz Jr., Trevor Gray’s cousin, was in the car when Trevor Gray was shot.
“A car pulled up behind us and started shooting,” he said.
“Nobody thinks they’re going to bury their kid,” Gray’s mom, Tina Gray said at the time. “Trevor wasn’t even involved. He pumped his gas, jumped back in the car, and drove off.”
Police arrested Scott two days after the shooting. Trevor Gray’s family said the two have known each other since middle school.
