The vehicle Peterson arrived in, a four-door Honda, was taken from the scene by detectives.

"We have several individuals that we're talking to now," Sergeant Robert John with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said. "We are trying to determine which of those individuals were actually in the care with the victim and what their relationship was."

Officers do not know how many times he was shot.
