Homicide Investigation

The FBI Charlotte Division is offering a reward of up to $10,000 to help solve the death of a transgender woman in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The case is being investigated jointly with the Jacksonville Police Department as a homicide and potential hate crime. The Jacksonville Police Department and Crime Stoppers are offering an additional reward of up to $5,000.

Jenna’s body was found on February 24, 2021, near Ellis Boulevard and White Street. City workers were clearing the ditch area when they saw a body next to a creek. Whoever is responsible is likely familiar with the area where her body was discovered. Investigators are asking the public for information to determine what happened to her and to arrest the person(s) responsible.

“Jenna was a beloved member of the LGBTQ+ community and her absence has been felt by her friends and family members. We do not believe this was a random act.
