JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man who was arrested in the April 2019 death of a 26-year-old Mayport man is now facing a charge of first-degree murder, according to court documents.
John Wilson was tracked down by U.S. Marshals in Virginia and taken into custody. He’s charged in the death of 26-year-old Dylan McCurdy .
