press conference about to start.

I am going to take a sad guess---and say it might be a vicious gang retaliation incident. Just from social media info ...weird things going on.

I was just about to start a post about this. I live in Jax and the news brief said he was found in some sort of water tank. They are not ruling anything out.

Tenikka Hughes Action News Jax #JSO says body of 3yo Amari was found in underground water holding tank inside of park. They are still Investigating how he got there. @ActionNewsJax
 
How does a child get into an underground holding tank?

Is it like an opening that can be pried open?
 
Jacksonville, Fla. - SUNDAY UPDATE at 9:35 p.m.: Jacksonville police provided more information regarding the body of a missing 3-year-old boy in a press conference.

Police said Amari Harley was reported missing at 4:45 p.m. after family searched for him when they could not locate him at a large family gathering at Bruce Park.

Investigators said they got a tip to check an underground water-holding tank inside the park, which they said is large enough for a small child to slip into.

Once the tank was drained, investigators located the body of a small child that matched the description of Harley.

They got a tip to look inside the water tank?
 
I wish we had a picture of what the tank 'opening' looks like. Can a 3 yr old open it and climb or fall inside?
 
I don't know why but I was thinking maybe it's something like this? maybe it was left open or something? Seems like Bruce park has a sprinkler system for kids to play with.

I don't think a 3 yr old could open that concrete slab. But middle school kids could and might....or high school or homeless peeps...anyone could have left it open...
 
what a shame another beautiful little child gone from this world (assuming it is amari) i really hope this is a terrible accident but my heart tells me it isnt. Do some people not understand that children are the most precious thing in this world. Praying for Amari and his family.
 
Also in the link, interview with the father of Amari and more information. Also found a picture of the supposed water tank where he was found.

From the link, it is unclear about the cover of the tank....but wouldn't LE know if it had a cover they had to remove a cover? Maybe they are just being quiet about it at the moment.

From what we know at this point, it's possible this was a tragic accident where a curious boy tumbled into a tank that was left open. We need more details, of course, to know for sure.

I will be curious to hear cause of death and more about the type of lid that was supposedly on this.
