JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – JSO has arrested one man so far in an ambush shooting in January where a man was killed and a woman was sent to the hospital with critical injuries.
Allan Bass, 21, is charged with second-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder, and possession of a firearm by a juvenile delinquent who committed a felony.
JSO is still looking for other suspects in this case.
His arrest report is heavily redacted, but a witness told JSO there were three men in ski masks who did the shooting.
A bolo went out on the suspects’ vehicle and multiple JSO units helped piece this arrest together.
Police called it a targeted shooting. Bullet holes covered the driver’s side of an SUV. A woman in the passenger seat told JSO three men with ski masks got out of a car on Emerson Street and started shooting. One of the suspects who wore a red sweatshirt chased her and the man she was with into a business.
Inside that business, JSO found the man dead and she was shot multiple times.
Just over a month later, Bass was arrested.
There is also an arrest report for Alex Bass, Allan’s brother who was also on felony probation. The same day of the shooting, the News4Jax I-Team was with JSO’s Community Problem Response Unit.
Shortly after the shooting they were serving a search warrant on Bass’s house on West 18th Street.
Units knocked on the door thinking that the brothers were hiding inside. Allan’s arrest report says an Uber dropped off three people at the house and one of them wearing a red sweatshirt.
It says the Bass brothers went inside, left, and walked down the street.
JSOs task force got Allan Bass’s number from his probation officer and he was arrested on unrelated charges.
On Feb. 17, Allan Bass was interviewed again by detectives.
In both arrest reports for the Bass brothers the gang unit was involved in the investigations.
Alex Bass hasn’t been charged in connection to this case. Allan Bass has a court date in a week and is being held without bond.
This investigation remains active as detectives continue their efforts to identify the other suspects involved. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500 or via email at JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org.
