JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man died of suicide Wednesday morning in a double shooting after a domestic dispute that also left a woman wounded at a home on Blue Sky Way in East Arlington, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
JSO Homicide Detective Sgt. Ray Reeves said officers were called to the home around 9 a.m. Wednesday and found the man dead inside and the woman with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. She was taken to a local hospital and is cooperating with the investigation, Reeves said.
Blue Sky Way is a cul-de-sac road in a neighborhood off Ashley Melisse Boulevard, which runs between Kernan Boulevard North and Girvin Road. The home in the cul-de-sac where the shooting took place was surrounded by crime scene tape and children’s toys could be seen in the driveway in front of the garage.
Reeves would not elaborate on their relationship.
Documents showed that a woman living at the address where Wednesday’s shooting took place obtained a domestic violence injunction against a man living there in December 2021. The injunction, which included a claim from the woman that the man had threatened to shoot her with a gun when he was drunk, was in place until August 2022, when the woman asked that it be dismissed.
Anyone with additional information about the shooting or those involved is asked to call JSO at 904-630-0500.
