(Schertz) — This time, five years ago, a 21-year-old man was gunned down while sitting in his car outside an apartment complex in Schertz.
Today, the Schertz Police Department is revisiting the cold case as it seeks information in the March 12, 2021, killing of Jerod “JJ” Jeffrey at the Sycamore Creek Apartments located in the 1000 block of Elbel Road.
Authorities say Jeffrey was found inside his silver Mercedes sedan. He reportedly suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Despite efforts by first responders, officials say he died at the scene.
Investigators say witnesses reported seeing an unidentified individual speaking with Jeffrey shortly before the shooting, a detail that remains central to the case. However, officials say no suspects have been publicly identified in the five years since the killing.
The Guadalupe County Crime Stoppers is now offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case. Officials say they remain hopeful that someone will come forward.
