The shooting took place near The Man-Cave Barbershop, where Glover’s father, Dana Miller, used to frequent. Miller, who also knew the victim, expressed his pain and shock upon hearing the news. Having lost his own brother to gun violence, Miller has become an advocate for gun violence prevention. He now faces the added grief of having a memorial for Glover Jr. next to his shop, serving as a constant reminder of the tragedy.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has not made any arrests in connection with the shooting. They have provided limited information about a dark colored 4-door vehicle that was seen driving quickly through the area at the time of the incident. Investigators are working to gather more evidence and identify the perpetrators.
The community has come together to mourn the loss of Glover Jr., remembering him as a talented rapper and a beloved member of the Eastside neighborhood. As the investigation continues, his family and friends hope for justice and an end to the gun violence that plagues their community.
