The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is actively searching for 69-year-old Nick Hatfield. Mr. Hatfield left his independent living facility on Lowell Avenue around noon Tuesday. He was then seen near McDuff Avenue and Beaver Street around 2:30 p.m; he has not been seen since then. Due to Mr. Hatfield’s age and cognitive issues, we are concerned about his safety.

Mr. Hatfield is 5’11” and 140 pounds. He has blue eyes and white hair. He was last seen wearing a navy blue shirt underneath a white tank top, light blue jeans with holes under the knees, black slides, and two hats (a Dodgers hat on top of an NRA hat). Mr. Hatfield may be wearing something that says ‘Nick’ on it.

Our detectives never give up on a case, even as hours, days, weeks, months and years pass. We won’t stop until justice is served.

Your Cold Case Unit closed an investigation from nearly a decade ago this week with the arrest of 34-year-old Radariaus McGauley. A warrant for his arrest was issued yesterday. He was already in custody when he was arrested on this warrant.

On November 19, 2015, McGauley and 24-year-old Kurt Dean entered a jewelry store on Edgewood Avenue to commit a robbery. The owner of the jewelry store shot Dean; he died from his gunshot wound. McGauley fled the store immediately after the shooting.

Our detectives immediately began working the case, but after thorough investigation, the case went cold.
Earlier this year, our Cold Case detectives reviewed unsolved homicide cases and selected this case for further review. Detectives conducted more interviews and reviewed evidence using new technology. This led detectives to McGauley and his arrest.

Because he was with Dean when he was killed, McGauley is being charged with felony murder in this case, along with other felony charges.

We will always hold those responsible for committing violent acts accountable for their actions. We look forward to continuing our push for justice with the State Attorney’s Office to bring closure to Dean’s family.
