Altercation leads to deadly shooting at Jacksonville apartment complex, police say

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said three persons of interest were taken into custody Friday night after a deadly shooting at an apartment complex.

According to Sgt. Blinn, with the Sheriff’s Office, police were called to the Kernan Oaks Apartments at about 7:15 p.m. Investigators located the body of a man between 20 to 25 years old.
