Jarel Walker-Webb
Jarel Walker-Webb was 20 years old when he died on July 30, 2025, while in the custody of the Clay County Sheriff's Office in Florida. According to the sheriff's office, other people held at the jail told deputies he appeared ill and unresponsive, and efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. The sheriff's office said the cause of death was unknown, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating with the Medical Examiner's Office. An autopsy his family later received lists fentanyl as the cause of death, and detectives looked into a possible overdose at the jail. His aunt, Shannell Webb, says he was a young man who never used drugs and did not like to drink alcohol, and the family says they are still not getting answers.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of an overdose (disputed). The sheriff's office says the cause is unknown while the family's autopsy lists fentanyl as the cause, and the family says he did not use drugs.
