St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office asking for information related to 2016 double murder

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office is asking for more information related to a 2016 double murder.

In 2016, officers were at a car fire on Fred Waters Way and Spring Street. Two men were found dead in the car. According to police, autopsies on the bodies found the men were shot and burned. The men murdered are identified as Charles Ray Durden and Staffon Demarius Larry.

Detectives said they received many anonymous tips related to the murders, but “probable cause could not be obtained to effect an arrest in the case,” according to police.

After further review of information in the case, detectives are asking for additional information from the anonymous tipsters. This additional information could be critical for solving the case, according to investigators.

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office said, “Detectives are asking those original tipsters and anyone who may have had information at the time, or who have heard anything related to the murders since that time, to contact the St. Johns County Major Crimes Unit by calling Detective Jon Dees at 904-209-2130.”
