Curtishia Jovan Poythress, 34, was found dead in her Orange Park home on Heron Nest Point in the Savannah Glen neighborhood on the afternoon of April 23, 2017. Authorities were called about 1:45 p.m.; Curtishia’s mother was injured and a teenage niece suffered minor injuries in what was described as a violent attack.

Curtishia was born October 25, 1982, in Metairie, Louisiana, and had moved to North Florida with her family. Her husband, 36-year-old Kenneth Leonard Poythress Jr., was identified as the primary suspect. He allegedly fled the scene in Curtishia’s 2008 Honda Accord; deputies recovered the vehicle from his Jacksonville garage and arrested him at his Westside Jacksonville residence on April 26, 2017.

Kenneth Poythress Jr. faced charges including one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder, and armed burglary. Curtishia’s father, Antonio Hood, returned home with his granddaughter to find Curtishia dead and other family members injured. Does anyone have further information about Curtishia’s life or the neighborhood around Heron Nest Point that could help the discussion?
