JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Circle K clerk was shot in the neck at Central Parkway and St. Johns Bluff Road early Thursday, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
Watch the full briefing below.
JSO said at around 5:30 a.m., officers responded to the 3600 block of St. Johns Bluff Road South and found a man in his 40s with a single gunshot to his neck. He was taken to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Investigators said the man was working at the gas station when the suspect walked in, pointed a gun at him and “made a demand.” JSO said he shot the clerk and fled the area on foot.
The suspect is described as a 5′6″ to 5′9″ man wearing all black with a mask and a backpack with white shoes.
This is not the same Circle K near the Avenues Mall where a man was fatally shot in the head on Wednesday night.
