JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Washington Estates neighborhood, located off Soutel Drive, is grappling with the aftermath of a fatal shooting that took place in the early hours of Monday morning.

Authorities report that the victim was found inside a home on the 5200 block of Boilard Drive shortly after 2:30 a.m. Jacksonville Fire and Rescue arrived at the scene and confirmed the man had died from his injuries.

Several individuals have been taken into custody for questioning as the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office continues its investigation. However, the details surrounding the shooting remain unclear, and officials have yet to make any arrests.

Frederick Douglas Jordan III, who has lived on Boilard Drive his entire life, expressed his disbelief and concern following the incident.

“When I pulled up this morning — cause I was taking my mom to get her eyes, laser on her eyes — when I pulled up and seen all the police cars, first thing I’m thinking about, something wrong my mom. She said no. I was shocked,” Jordan said.

Jordan said his family has lived in the neighborhood for decades and he never expected something like this to happen.

“My mama been in this house since 1965. I think about my mom, to be honest with you. Will she come stay with me, but she’s not. That just makes me a little scared.”

He said the shooting has him worried for his family’s safety.

“Well I tell them people, this can happen in any neighborhood. You know, this is an older neighborhood, this is the Northside, but that don’t mean everything is bad over here, you know,” Jordan said. “It can happen in any neighborhood.”

He’s hoping JSO can quickly make an arrest so that the suspect doesn’t hurt anyone else.

JSO says investigators are actively working the case and asks anyone with information to come forward by either contacting JSO directly at its non-emergency number or anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
