Jacksonville police: Man found dead inside motel room off Beach Blvd.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — 11 p.m. Wednesday UPDATE: 

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has released the identity of the man found dead at Inn Town Suites Tuesday.

Police are still investigating the death of 29-year-old Amad Clark of Jacksonville.

10:20 P.M. UPDATE: Police are investigating where they found a man dead inside a Southside motel room Monday afternoon.

Police say he was found in a room at In Town Suites around 3 p.m. after receiving an anonymous tip – police say they do suspect foul play.

“The day after Father’s Day, that’s heartbreaking, that really is,” said Miesha Rivera who lives just feet away from where police found her neighbor dead in his motel room.

“There was no commotion. There was no sound. We didn’t hear any gunshots. Everyone out here is shaken up by this,” she said.

But Rivera said the room was a mess inside, like there was a fight. She said the man lived there with his girlfriend and little girl. She also said she noticed the man’s girlfriend leaving the room earlier in the day.

“She seemed like she was in a rush like she was late for something,” Rivera said.

For hours police had part of the motel room blocked off as say they went in and out of the room collecting evidence. Neighbors told Action News Jax the man and his girlfriend would argue here and there, but it would never get physical.

“I’ve never seen them fighting. I’ve never seen any domestic violence,” said Kim Johnson, another neighbor.

While police are still figuring out what happened inside that room, neighbors said they won’t feel safe.

“Yeah that scares me because you don’t know, none of us know,” said Johnson.

“The fact that we don’t know who did it and they’re still out there, makes me feel, can they come back?” said Rivera.
