LaDonna Rhoden lives nearby but said she didn't hear any gunfire.

"It doesn't surprise me," Rhoden said. "It's not a happy place. It's not a place that I can even walk my dogs. I have to take my dogs to Riverside just to walk them because I can't walk them on the sidewalk in front of my house." 

Detectives from the Violent Crimes Unit said this shooting may be related to a double shooting early Friday morning on Portsmouth Avenue, about five miles away.

Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS (8477). There's a possible reward of up to $3,000 for a tip that leads to an arrest and conviction.
