JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Police are looking into a shooting death early Saturday morning at La Esperanza Apartments on University Boulevard.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office got a call about shots fired just after midnight. When officers arrived, neighbors showed them to the apartment where they heard the gunshots. The door was open and officers found a body inside.

Police identified the victim as Jackie Lee Harris, 52. Officers did not give any details about who may have fired the shots.
Raymond Earl Conner lives in the next building over and became friendly with Harris when he moved to the complex earlier this year.
Conner went to check on Harris after another neighbor noticed the front door was part open.
"I knocked on the door--anywhere from four to six times--real hard. The door was halfway open. I walked in there, he was laying on his
right side," Conner said.
JSO says this is an ongoing investigation and they expect to learn more after they serve a search warrant.
