Man fatally shot outside nearby business while police investigating earlier double shooting in Hyde Park area

A man was killed in a shooting Thursday night in the Hyde Park area not far from where police were already investigating a double shooting from earlier in the day, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.

Police were investigating a case on Lane Ave around 8 p.m. Thursday when officers were alerted to several gunshots inside the front parking lot of a nearby business.

They found a man with a gunshot wound and he was taken to a hospital in life-threatening condition. He later died, police said.

Police are working to figure out the events that led up to the shooting. JSO believes this was not a random incident and the people involved may know each other.

Police are unsure if the shooting outside the business is related to the double shooting that occurred near that property around 1:50 a.m. Thursday.

The shooting Thursday morning occurred in the parking lot of an apartment complex.

Anyone with information about either shooting is asked to call JSO at 904-630-0500, or you can contact CrimeStoppers if you would like to remain anonymous at 1-866-845-TIPS.
