The victim's family is not from Jacksonville and didn't want to reveal their names while Jacksonville police continue to search for Daniels' killer, but they do want people in the community to speak up if they know anything.

His family said they are devastated at the loss of TJ. They pointed out his construction vest and work boots still on the floor inside his home near the front door and steps away from bullet holes.

The family said TJ was caring, worked hard, took care of his family and was expecting a child with his girlfriend.

"We want justice for our family, and we want the killings in the neighborhood to come to a stop," the family said. 

Anyone with information about the murder is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
