JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 There\u2019s more fallout following a weekend quadruple shooting inside the Paxon Shopping Center parking lot off Edgewood Avenue.<\/p>\n
Nearby neighbors, some of whom have asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation, have said they have repeatedly complained about questionable late-night activities in the parking lot that have kept them up at night. Activities that have included loud music and gunshots. Now they are voicing their frustrations towards City Councilwoman Tyrona Clark-Murray, who represents their district.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe needs to step up and clean up her area and do her job. If you\u2019re an elected official, do your job. It\u2019s that simple. Do your job,\u201d said one neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous and also said she personally delivered a letter to the councilwoman\u2019s office last year but was only able to talk to the councilwoman\u2019s assistant.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe definitely needs to get to the bottom of what\u2019s going on here and do something about it,\u201d said another neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou figure they would do a walk-through and get to know their neighborhoods, their constituents that are here, and support the people and get behind what needs to be done to address the issue in the neighborhood,\u201d said business owner Ron Terry.<\/p>\n
News4JAX began reporting on the parking lot issues after receiving a complaint back in October of last year. The complainant first provided News4JAX a cell phone video of a large late-night gathering in the parking lot. Several nights later, News4JAX set up a camera across the street and recorded the gatherings along with the loud music. For two nights in a row, police were called to break up the gatherings after receiving noise complaints and a complaint from security guards who were overwhelmed by the number of people in the lot.<\/p>\n
