JSO investigating shooting on Jacksonville’s Westside

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is investigating a person shot off Fouraker Road on the city’s Westside.

The scene is at the intersection of Justin Road and Small Way, which is west of I-295 and south of Herlong Road.

While on the scene, News Reporter Briana Brownlee and photo journalist Jesse Hanson noticed JSO carrying off what appeared to be a baby in a carrier.

Neighbors say they didn’t hear any gunshots, but saw the police presence. Rhonda Littles was visiting a friend with her daughter when she saw the ambulances and JSO cruisers.

“What happened in the neighborhood, because it’s usually so quiet.” Littles said. “They blocked off the streets so nobody can really find out what went on in the home.”

Littles and her daughter questioned what could have possibly happened in the morning. She added she saw someone being taken off in the ambulance.

“Just stop the violence,” Littles said. “It was quite disturbing to see that many cops and ambulances because you heard if for at least 30 minutes. That is what drew a lot of attention to it. Can’t even get coffee or a bagle without a distrubrance in the neighborhood. It’s just took much.”

News4JAX has reached out to Jacksonville Fire and Rescue for more information about the person’s injuries.
