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 .
On April 1, officers were called to Featherwood Drive South, where they found the body of McCurdy lying near the edge of the roadway. Investigators said they determined McCurdy died of a gunshot wound.
Wilson is also facing a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
In a separate case, Wilson is charged with second-degree murder in the July 2018 death of 32-year-old Trevor Neal Matthew. A pretrial hearing in that case is scheduled for Feb. 6.
