The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office now says information you have on a weekend homicide investigation could get you a reward.

Police found the body of 34-year-old Keisha E. Murray under a tree in the Restlawn Memorial Park cemetery on the Northside Sunday. The cause of death has still not been released, although police believe the body may have been dumped there not long before it was found. Her death is being investigated as a murder, according to police.

Osborne Hall lives just blocks away from Restlawn Memorial Park. He says the cemetery is the final resting place of several of his relatives.

"My brother, my uncle, my cousin. I've got a lot of relatives in there," he told our partner Action News.

According to Hall, he was not surprised to see so much police activity because the cemetery gates are open at all hours of the night.

"If they keep it closed nobody would drive up in there but people come in and out of the place all the time," said Hall.

Crime Stoppers is now offering a reward of up to $3,000. You can submit an anonymous tip by calling 1-866-845-TIPS. You can also contact JSO with any information you have at 904-630-0500 or JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org.
