JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – One woman is dead and another has severe injuries following a stabbing early Saturday morning in the Jacksonville Heights West area, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
Officers said they got a 911 call around 3:20 a.m. about a stabbing inside a unit at Addison Landing Apartment Homes on 103rd Street east of Monroe Smith Road.
“Early indications are the 911 call came from inside the home, but we’re still reviewing the 911 call now,” JSO Sgt. Robby Henson said during a news briefing.
Police said they found a woman stabbed to death. Police described her as being 25 to 30 years old.
Officers said they also found another woman with several stabbed wounds. That woman was taken to a hospital with severe injuries, police said.
Investigators said they believe the women knew each other but do not know the exact relationship between them.
“It’s early in the investigation. We don’t know if they were attacking each other or if there was a third or fourth or other individual inside the home,” Henson said.
Officers said that as they investigate, they are asking neighbors if they have any surveillance video that could give them more insight into the incident.
A viewer sent News4JAX photos of JSO’s dive team at the complex Saturday morning. News4JAX has reached out to see if anything significant to the investigation was found.
Anyone with information about the double stabbing is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500 or First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous.
