Police were called to a Northwest Jacksonville neighborhood Sunday afternoon after shots rang out during a memorial for a teen who was killed in a shooting last week.
Effee Street in the Moncrief Park area was blocked off by Jacksonville Sheriff’s officers as they investigated the situation, and multiple evidence markers lined the street as a reminder of what happened.
Neighbors told News4JAX that a memorial was being held for a teen who was shot and killed. A family member said they noticed a suspicious white car circling the block then shots were fired. A woman was shot in the arm and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to JSO. A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said she lives doors from where the shooting took place.
“All I heard was gunshots. Approximately around anywhere from 13 to 15 gunshots, and I heard screaming so I just dived on the floor and got my phone and called 9-1-1,” she said.JSO said the shooter is unknown. It’s unclear if this shooting is connected to the last week’s fatal shooting.If you have any information, call 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 866-844-TIPS.
