JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It was a violent Sunday night as the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was called to four separate violent incidents, all within a few hours.
Four people were shot and one man was killed in the incidents.
The deadly shooting took place in Spring Park following a fight at a restaurant.
Customers inside the La Gran Parada Restaurant on Beach Boulevard and Emerson Street told police a fight broke out between several men inside the restaurant around 10 p.m. Sunday. It spilled out into the parking lot and that's when the gunfire erupted.
The victim, who police later identified as 37-year-old Juan Acosta, died after being transported by friends to Memorial Hospital.
Police are looking for the gunman, who was described as a man between 25-30 years old. He was wearing all black clothing and could be in a dark blue or black Hyundai Sonata..
