Detectives said they believe the shooting was an isolated incident. They later added that they do not believe there was "criminal intent involved with this shooting."
The Sheriff's Office continues to investigate.
This was one of three shootings reported Friday in Jacksonville. Police said two men were shot in an exchange of gunfire just before noon in the Durkeeville neighborhood, and a man was shot and killed about 1 p.m. on the city's Southside.
