The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said he was shot just after 10 a.m. Officers were already at the apartment complex investigating a separate incident when they got the call about a shooting in another building.
Officers said Wright was shot multiple times, which matches resident Courtney Evans description of the gunfire she heard before seeing Wright's body on a flight of stairs.
"I was very shocked and surprised, especially because he was 62 years old," Courtney Evans said. "Why would somebody want to kill a 62-year-old, let alone half of the people that get shot for crazy stuff?"
Anyone with any information about Wright's death is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
Hollybrook has a history of criminal activity. News4Jax records show a man was charged with murder in November of 2015 after beating a toddler to death inside a unit. There was also a fire in March 2015 and a shooting in April 2009.
The complex now has security officers that check every vehicle that goes in the complex.
