JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after he was shot in the leg and chest early Tuesday morning, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
JSO said officers responded to the 3500 block of Alcoy Road at approximately 12:40 a.m. after receiving a report that an adult male had been shot. The man’s roommate transported him to a local hospital.
Investigators said the victim was lying in bed when he heard a noise inside the home. When he sat up, an unknown person fired multiple shots, striking him once in the chest and once in the arm. The sheriff’s office said the injuries are not considered life-threatening.
A roommate who was inside the home at the time of the shooting has been detained and is being questioned by detectives, the office said. The investigation is in its early stages and officials said information is limited because the victim was receiving medical treatment when officers arrived.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 904-630-0500, email jsocrimetips@jaxsheriff.org or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
