The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says it is investigating after a pregnant victim’s body was found in Riverview Park on Saturday morning.

JSO says a 911 call came in around 6:30 a.m. The victim had been found by someone walking through the park, which is just south of the Trout River off Bassett Road near Lem Turner Road.

The investigation is in its early stages and police said they were still working to identify the victim. The Medical Examiner will have to determine her cause of death.

“We are treating this investigation as a suspicious death with foul play suspected,” said Sgt. Edwin Cayenne with JSO’s Homicide Unit.

They did not have an age for the female victim, but they said she was “visibly pregnant.” Investigators said it’s unclear how long she had been in the park.

A 9-month pregnant woman, who was due to give birth on Oct. 8, has been found dead in a Florida state park.

On Saturday morning, around 6:30 a.m. local time, the body of the woman — which has since been identified by family as that of 21-year-old Felicia Jones — was discovered when an individual was walking in Jacksonville's Riverview Park, according to First Coast News.

Investigators with the Florida-based Sheriff's Office said they are now treating the case as a "suspicious death with foul play expected," per First Coast News, though they did not detail what led them to that determination.

A nine-months-pregnant woman has been found dead in Riverview Park in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, September 25. The woman, identified as 21-year-old Felicia Jones, was due to give birth next week on October 8, 2021. She was reportedly expecting a baby boy.

Felicia Jones' family has set up a GoFundMe page to raise the funeral expenses for the expecting mother and her unborn baby. Her child was reportedly going to be named Ma'kailand. No details about the baby's father have been revealed yet.

"Our family took a major loss we lost my niece and nephew. This is a unexpected tragedy for our family and can’t believe we lost Felicia and her unborn child. He was set to be here in just two weeks. We appreciate and Thank you for any donations towards burial expenses," wrote organizer Angelica Williams, who happens to be Jones' aunt.

Speaking to First Coast News, Williams urged, "I want Jacksonville to come together on this. We can't let this go. We can't let this slide. We need everybody to come together. This is a whole unborn baby ready to be born in two weeks. A beautiful young lady who just turned 21 this month."

She further added, "Felicia, better known as Fee Fee, she was a beautiful person inside and out. She had that bubbly spirit. Even if she was going through something, you wouldn't be able to tell because she was that type of person where she had a lot of strength. She was super excited about being a first-time mom."

Williams also condemned the heinous crime saying, "We want answers. We want to know why. We don't understand who would do such a disgusting crime. It's sickening."

BBM. I would start by asking who and where the baby's father was.

Horrifying. I would imagine they start with the father of the baby, and ex bf’s. Hopefully her family can get some justice quickly. But, I can imagine what they’re going through.

There is a special place in hell for someone who could do this. All murder is horrible and unacceptable but to take the life of an unborn child. This makes me want to fight whoever did it.

I hope there is enough evidence at the scene of the crime, and a big enough digital trail, for a quick arrest.

This Sept 26 article from the London Tabloid says that she was found two days before her car was discovered. Is there a police report? Media has crossed wires on car and body discovery timeline.

"A missing college student from Florida has been found dead behind a fire station in South Carolina, two days before her car was discovered torched in a corn field ten miles away.

A friend has claimed that a man was seen fleeing the scene of the burning car, although this has not been confirmed by police."

@otto that’s the other young woman found

Absolutely devastating.

Seems pretty likely that the killer did not want that poor innocent baby born.

Should be easy to find suspect(s). Let's hope it's even easier to convict.

May Felicia and her precious little one rest in peace. My prayers are going out for all who love them.

The father of the child!


A 19-year-old man turned himself into Jacksonville police early today and is charged with two counts of murder for the shooting death of a young pregnant woman.

Through the investigation, JSO detectives identified a possible suspect and then obtained an arrest warrant for 19-year-old Reginald Perry Jr. After he turned himself into police, Perry was interviewed and charged with two counts of murder.

Jones’ mother told Action News Jax that Perry was the father of the child.
