According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the shooting happened at Westwood Apartments early Monday.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A shooting at a Jacksonville apartment complex early Monday morning left a man in his mid-30s injured after he sustained multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
JSO Sgt. Ray Reeves said patrol officers were dispatched to Westwood Apartments, located at 1171 South Lane Ave., around 3:30 a.m. in reference to the shooting.
When they arrived, Reeves told First Coast News the officers found the man suffering from several gunshot wounds. Reeves did not know how many times the man was shot but said he was shot outside of his apartment.
According to Reeves, members of the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department then responded to the scene and took the man a local hospital where he is listed in critical condition.
“We have spoken with witnesses on scene and [are] trying to come up with a timeline that will help us in this endeavor,” Reeves said. “It appears that there’s a vehicle that was struck. They’re (detectives) working to confirm if that was part of this or if that was possibly old damage. We don’t have the details of that quite yet.”
When asked what led up to the shooting, Reeves said: “According to neighbors, there was nothing going on.”
The sheriff’s office is actively investigating the incident, according to Reeves.
