JSO investigators said both victims are in critical condition after separate shootings; one on the Northside late Monday and the other on the Westside early Tuesday.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Two people are facing serious injuries after separate, unrelated shootings across Jacksonville Monday night and early Tuesday morning, according to Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) investigators.
The first incident happened Monday just before 8:30 p.m. in the 400 block of West 16th Street on Jacksonville’s Northside.
Officers responded to a shooting call and upon arrival, found a woman in her 30s suffering from a gunshot wound. She was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Investigators said the woman got into an argument with the shooting suspect, whom they did not provide a description for, before the suspect ultimately shot her.
The suspect was taken into police custody without incident and is being questioned, and investigators say the shooting appears to be an isolated incident.
The second shooting happened around 12:40 a.m. Tuesday on the 3500 block of Alcoy Road.
Officers responded to the scene after calls of a man being shot.
Investigators said the man was in his bed when he heard a noise inside his house. When he sat up, an unknown person fired multiple shots in his direction, hitting him in the chest and arm.
A roommate took the man to the hospital and he’s in critical condition but stable, police said.
Investigators said another roommate inside the house during the shooting has been detained and is being questioned by detectives.
