JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A man is dead Wednesday after he was found shot multiple times at McGirts Village on Jacksonville’s Westside, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
The unidentified man in his mid-to-late 20s, according to JSO’s Sergeant Lessard, was found by officers with multiple gunshot wounds at approximately 12:50 a.m. at 8400 McGirts Village Ln. Lessard says officers responded to the townhome subdivision originally to assist the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department with the man that was down.
Police say JFRD then took the man to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
“At this time, we don’t know the circumstances of the incident,” Lessard says. “Because of this, the classification of the incident is pending. We believe this is to be an isolated incident.”
Lessard also said the “suspect is at large.”
JSO says detectives with its Homicide and Crime Scene units responded to the scene to conduct an investigation as those efforts will be coordinated with the Medical Examiner’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call JSO’s non-emergency number at 904-630-0500 or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
