Her story
Jenna Franks was 34, a transgender woman.
In February 2021, a city worker clearing debris found her body near Ellis Boulevard and White Street in Jacksonville. An autopsy found that she died of stab wounds, and the Jacksonville Police Department says it has treated her death as a homicide from the start.
Five years later, no one has been arrested. Police say they are still working leads. Her sister has spoken publicly, saying the case too often gets attention only at each anniversary. Jenna deserves to be remembered every day of the year.
