“Aiden McClendon was with us for only a short time, but he will have a lasting impact on this city for years to come. My thoughts and prayers remain with Aiden’s family. On behalf of our city, I thank Sheriff Mike Williams and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office for their consistency and diligence in this investigation, bringing those suspected of this cowardly act to light. This arrest demonstrates to citizens and offenders that we will remain vigilant in our public safety efforts, and are resolute and determined to take those who threaten the lives of our citizens off our streets.”
