Multiple shots fired at memorial in Northwest Jacksonville for teen murdered last week

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Police were called to a Northwest Jacksonville neighborhood Sunday afternoon after shots rang out during a memorial for a teen who was killed in a shooting last week.

Effee Street in the Moncrief Park area was blocked off by Jacksonville Sheriff’s officers as they investigated the situation, and multiple evidence markers lined the street as a reminder of what happened.

Neighbors told News4JAX that a memorial was being held for a teen who was shot and killed. A family member said they noticed a suspicious white car circling the block then shots were fired.

A woman was shot in the arm and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to JSO.

A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said she lives doors from where the shooting took place.

“All I heard was gunshots. Approximately around anywhere from 13 to 15 gunshots, and I heard screaming so I just dived on the floor and got my phone and called 9-1-1,” she said.

She also said she just moved to the area last month.

JSO said the shooter is unknown. It’s unclear if this shooting is connected to the last week’s fatal shooting.

Police are investigating.

If you have any information, call 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 866-844-TIPS.
