Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Says Serial-Killer Rumors False After Three Deaths
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office posted on social media Tuesday that claims of a serial killer in Jacksonville are false. JSO said detectives are investigating each case individually and that there is no danger to the public related to these incidents.
Three Women Found Dead in Separate Incidents
Three women were found dead in different parts of Jacksonville within three days. On Saturday, 24-year-old Cherrish Nunley, a mother of two, was found fatally shot in a parking lot. A GoFundMe page was created for Nunley’s family.

The following day, a fisherman discovered the body of Tiffany Felton beneath a bridge on Blanding Boulevard. On Monday, deputies were called to a rooming house in the Phoenix neighborhood where another woman was found unresponsive. A sheriff’s sergeant said details surrounding the third woman’s death were not immediately clear.
