JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man was arrested Thursday in connection with a shooting on Labor Day in the Brentwood area that left a woman dead and a man injured, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Around 10 a.m. Sept. 5, the Sheriff’s Office said, the agency got an alert from Shot Spotter about multiple rounds fired at West 27th and Silver streets, and while officers were responding to the scene, the call was upgraded to a shooting. When police arrived, according to JSO, they found a 47-year-old woman and a man in his 20s — both of whom had been shot multiple times in a fenced backyard behind a residence.
