Witnesses tell New4Jax they heard around five shots during the incident.
“Well, I was sitting on the front porch and I was drinking a beer and I heard gun shots around five. I thought it was just a round of someone shooting in the air and I said ‘wait a minute,’ that was kind of close to me. I hesitated about five or six minutes, so I started walking to the area and I seen someone laying down on the porch. So I walked up on the porch and I saw a body,” said Vasco Williams. He says that's when he called police.
