JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office deputies are investigating a homicide on the city’s northside.
Deputies responded to Stafford Rd. around 1:46 p.m.
Residents near the scene said the area is not known for this kind of crime. One neighbor, who did not want to be identified on camera, described looking out their window to find the street blocked off by police.
“I looked out of the window, I looked down the street, and it was a lot of police, and it’s roped off and stuff like that,” the neighbor said. “I don’t really know what’s going on, but it is kind of like, weird, because we don’t normally get stuff like here. A lot of older people, they, you know, sit on their porch and stuff like that, so it’s just kind of confusing, like, dang, what happened?”
JSO has not released information about a suspect or identified the victim. The investigation is ongoing.
