He is expected to recover.

According to JSO, investigators don’t know if the shooting happened in the house or on the street, in part because the victim is not telling detectives what happened.

JSO is working to gather home surveillance and is canvassing the area to find out what happened.

Anyone with information is asked to contact First Coast Crime Stoppers or the Sheriff’s Office.
