The death of a 55-year-old man three months after an Oct. 9 battery has homicide investigators seeking information on who attacked him, the Jacksonville Sheriff s Office announced Wednesday.
Officers were called about 2:45 a.m. on a report of a battery in the 1200 block of University Boulevard North, just north of the Arlington Expressway, the Sheriff s Office said. They found Aziz Bendour suffering from serious injuries, and he was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Bendour died on Jan. 7, 2021, as a result of the injuries he sustained in the attack, the Sheriff s Office said Wednesday. No other details have been released, although the Times-Union has requested the incident report.

As bleak a year as it’s been, for Palm Coast, it’s also been the Year of the Universities.
In October, the University of North Florida and Palm Coast launched a partnership that will result in a UNF satellite campus in Town Center by fall. Today, in a second coup for the city and its innovation district, Jacksonville University and Palm Coast announced a joint partnership that will open a JU campus in town–the university’s first-ever expansion outside of Jacksonville in its 86-year history–and enroll 150 to 200 full-time students within 24 months. The focus will be health-care education, and more specifically, nursing.
