The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said surveillance footage revealed that the suspect was seen fleeing the apartments on foot.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A male in his late teens was shot and killed at an apartment complex in Jacksonville’s Mixon Town area Wednesday night, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

At 8:50 p.m., JSO said patrol officers responded to Hollybrook Homes Apartments located at 104 King St. in reference to the shooting.

When they arrived, JSO said officers found the teen suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Members of the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department then responded to the scene and took the teen to a local hospital, where he later died, JSO said.

Although they said they are early in their investigation, JSO Sgt. Thompson said surveillance footage showed the suspect fleeing the apartments on foot in an unknown direction.

A First Coast News crew spotted a SWAT team at the apartments Thursday morning, but JSO has not said why they were there.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact JSO’s non-emergency number at 904-630-0500. To provide information anonymously, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
