JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Police are trying to figure out if a woman shot and killed inside her home early Friday morning was targeted in a drive-by shooting or if she was the victim of stray gunfire.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said the woman in her 30s died while inside her home. Another adult and two young children were also in the home at the time of the shooting but were not injured.

A spokesperson for JSO said their preliminary investigation shows at least one shot came from outside of the home through the window, but that she was shot multiple times.
The shooting happened around 2 a.m. on West 18th Street, off Melson Avenue in Northwest Jacksonville.
Police said there are no suspects. They’re hopeful surveillance cameras might have captured some clues.
A nearby resident said it’s the first shooting he knows of on his street.
“I’m a Vietnam vet, so I almost wanted to hit the floor,” Roger Jones said. “I have a Ring on my door and I checked the video to see if I saw anything and nothing showed up.”
Police are asking anyone with information that could help investigators with the case to call JSO at 904-630-0500 or email JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org. To remain anonymous, contact First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS (8477).
