Jacksonville investigators said they are questioning several people in a home on Somerton Court about the shooting.

Detectives are trying to determine if the shooting happened in the home or outside.

While no arrests have been made, detectives said everyone in the home will be questioned, either at the scene or at the Police Memorial Building.

Officers believe an ongoing dispute between two parties who know each other triggered the gunfire but said the exact nature of their relationship is unknown.

Detectives said they have no indications that Sunday's shooting is related to another shooting that happened Saturday night on Proxima Road, which is about four blocks away.
