Devonne Rivers, 20, was already in jail for an “ambush” that occurred in Arlington before the new charges in a separate case were brought forward.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A man already in custody at the Duval County Jail on an attempted murder charge was hit with two murder charges in connection to a 2024 double murder on Garden Street, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday.

Devonne Rivers, 20, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder Monday in connection to the double murder, jail records show. He was already in jail after being arrested in December for an “ambush” that occurred in Arlington, where JSO said a man was shot multiple times.

In the Garden Street double murder, which happened on April 7, 2024, JSO said it initially received a report about a vehicle obstructing the road in 7000 block.

When patrol officers arrived at the scene, JSO said they found the vehicle riddled with multiple bullet holes and two men identified as 45-year-old Travis Williams and 40-year-old Anton Brown inside.

After JSO conducted its investigation into the incident, the agency said Tuesday it deemed Rivers “responsible for the double murder.”

As for the ambush Rivers is accused of taking part in, he faces attempted murder, shooting or throwing deadly missiles into a vehicle and armed trespassing charges for that case, according to jail records.
