What led up to the gun violence is unclear, but Prince’s loved one told News4JAX that he was hit more than five times by gunfire. She asked not to be identified, but she said that a young life was taken in a senseless attack in front of his home.
She said in a message that Prince will be remembered as:
“A great son, brother, uncle, friend, and overall, just a great young man. Always smiling and joking. Took on roles of many. We have to come up with more ways to solve our problems. Death shouldn’t always be the outcome. They will pay for what they have done.”
It’s unclear how many people were involved in the shooting, and the Sheriff’s Office has not released information pertaining to a suspect.
The Sheriff’s Office has asked anyone with information to call police at 904-630-0500 or to submit an anonymous tip to First Coast Crime Stoppers.
