One neighbor had just come home and saw the crime scene tape.
“Well it was a little scary because we come to this park every week and we can walk here so yes I was a little concerned,” the neighbor said. “My brother-in-law is a cop so I kind of reached out and asked what happened but I have not heard from here. I was very concerned.”
Alan Jensen said it was surprising because it’s normally a quiet and safe neighborhood.
“[My wife and I] come here with our kids all the time so it’s really disheartening to hear,” Jensen said.
Police said several people have been detained for interviews and JSO is canvassing the area for video and other evidence.
JSO is asking people with information to reach out to them by calling 904-630-0500, by email at jsocrimetips@jacksheriff.org, or Crimestoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
