JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Seven people were shot in five separate incidents across Jacksonville in just over 24 hours over the weekend, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
Investigators said several of the shootings stemmed from arguments or disputes. Suspects are in custody in three of the five cases.
Detectives said all five shootings appear to be isolated incidents.
Shooting 1: Monaco Arms Apartments
The first shooting happened Saturday night at Monaco Arms Apartments.
Officers responded to a local hospital around 10 p.m. after two young adult males arrived with gunshot wounds. The first victim was shot in the shoulder and abdomen and is in stable condition. The second victim was shot in the shoulder and is also listed in stable condition.
Investigators say both victims went to the Monaco Arms Apartments to confront another group of people when a fight broke out and shots were fired. Both victims have spoken with detectives.
No suspect description has been released. The investigation is ongoing.
Shooting 2: The Edge at Town Center Apartments, Windy Hill neighborhood
Just before 1 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to a reported shooting at The Edge at Town Center Apartments near St. Johns Bluff Road S. in the Windy Hill neighborhood.
A man in his mid-40s was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper leg. Jacksonville Fire and Rescue transported him to a local hospital, where his injuries are listed as non-life-threatening.
Investigators say the victim and suspect were in a domestic relationship. The two got into an argument inside the suspect’s residence, during which a woman in her late 30s shot the victim once in the leg. The suspect is in custody and speaking with detectives.
Shooting 3: Ken Knight Drive
About an hour later, officers found another man shot in the leg on Ken Knight Drive.
Investigators say the victim and another man got into an argument. The suspect opened fire, striking the victim while he was standing in his front yard. That suspect is in custody.
Shooting 4: Cumberland Cove Court
Officers responded at approximately 3:17 a.m. Sunday to Cumberland Cove Court, where they located a man in his early 20s suffering from a gunshot wound to the hip.
Jacksonville Fire and Rescue transported him to a local hospital, where his injuries are listed as non-life-threatening.
Investigators say the dispute began at a restaurant in St. Johns County. The suspect then followed the victim in his vehicle to the victim’s home in Duval County, where he exited the vehicle and opened fire several times, striking the victim in the hip before fleeing. Officers located the suspect and took him into custody. Several shell casings were recovered at the scene.
Shooting 5: McDuff Avenue North, Lackawanna neighborhood
The fifth shooting left a man in his early 30s in critical condition after his vehicle was found crashed on McDuff Avenue North near Beaver Street in the Lackawanna neighborhood.
JSO responded just after 11 a.m. Sunday. Employees of a nearby business located the man suffering from several gunshot wounds to multiple areas of his body and called 911. He was transported by Jacksonville Fire and Rescue to a local hospital, where his injuries are listed as critical but stable.
Investigators later determined the shooting itself occurred on Spring Street near Burke Street. Detectives were unable to speak with the victim, and no suspect description has been released.
One person in the area told News4JAX off camera they heard two separate guns fire. After the shots stopped, they walked to the end of the street and saw a red car driving away. Other neighbors said they heard multiple gunshots, with some initially believing they had heard a crash.
