Paramedics responded, but the man died at the scene.

According to JSO Sgt. Ray Reeves, the police were called to an argument earlier in the day at the same location, and it appears that sometime later one of those involved in the argument returned to the area and was possibly involved in the shooting.

Investigators said several people were taken into custody and were cooperating with the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number at 904-630-0500 or CrimeStoppers at 866-845-TIPS. They can also provide information online at JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org.
