The justice walk and community canvass will commence at 2332 West 17th Street, the very site where the 21-year-old father lost his life. Greenwade’s family is driven by the need for answers not just for themselves, but for his young daughter, who is only two years old.

“They want justice for him and for his baby girl,” expressed AJ Jordan, Vice President of MAD DADS, underlining the family’s heartache and determination.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office reported that the fatal shooting took place on Monday, October 6, around 1 p.m., on the same block where the canvass will begin. Officers responding to the scene discovered Greenwade in a vehicle, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Tragically, he succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the shooting happened around 1 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 6 on that same block of West 17th Street.

When officers arrived, they found Greenwade inside a car. He had been shot multiple times and died at the hospital.

“From what we understand, he walked out to his car to get something out the trunk and somebody came up and shot him in cold blood,” said Jordan. 

Now, MAD DADS and Greenwade’s family are calling on the community to come forward with information.

“We care about his life and so we are knocking on doors to let people know it’s still a killer out here and we need your help to help get the killer or killers off our street.”

Jordan tells First Coast News many residents want to see a safer community, one free of violence that’s taken so many young lives.

“Most of our residents want a crime-free city. They don’t want murderers running around our city, so we get a good reception and hopefully, we get some results.”
