JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office is investigating a deadly shooting involving a man shot to death and a woman in the hospital after officers said she called 911, reporting she was shot and she\u2019d shot someone, herself.<\/p>\n
JSO said officers went to a home on Begonia Road after getting the call at around 2:20 AM. We\u2019re told they found a man shot to death and a woman shot multiple times in the upper body, who was taken to the hospital and put into surgery.<\/p>\n
JSO hasn\u2019t shared the names of either of the people involved, their relationship with one another, what exactly led to the shooting, or how it played out. But Action News Jax spoke with a woman claiming to be the friend of the man who died.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m devastated. I\u2019m overwhelmed over the situation. I mean, he was such a great person,\u201d said Sonya Devaughn, who tells Action News Jax she and the man who died were playing cards at her house a few hours before the shooting.<\/p>\n
Devaughn describes him as a jolly, cheerful person who always kept her laughing. She told Action News Jax\u2019s Finn Carlin she stopped playing cards with him at around 10:00 PM Tuesday and woke up to news that he\u2019d been shot to death.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just, truly, I, it\u2019s unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n Action News Jax records show this is the first shooting reported on Begonia Road in about two years. One of the women living on the road spoke with us after waking up to see her street had turned into the center of a police investigation.<\/p>\n \u201cIt shocked me because we normally don\u2019t have things like this occur on our street around here in this neighborhood,\u201d said Chiquita Arnold, who lives a few doors down from where the shooting happened.<\/p>\n Action News Jax has asked the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office when we could expect to know the names of those involved in the shooting. JSO said it was still working to confirm that information as it investigates the shooting.,<\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n [SIGN UP: <\/b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a>] <\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/b><\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office is investigating a deadly shooting involving a man shot to death…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":124162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5136],"tags":[5229,76541,76535,76536,30101,76538,76540,46583,61251,3188,723,11561,46582,7310,13040,13035,425,76533,76539,33773,76534,76537,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-124161","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ax_news","10":"tag-begonia_road","11":"tag-bethany","12":"tag-bethany_rees","13":"tag-chiquita_arnold","14":"tag-devon","15":"tag-finn","16":"tag-finn_carlin","17":"tag-fl","18":"tag-florida","19":"tag-jack","20":"tag-jack_finn_carlin","21":"tag-jacksonville","22":"tag-jacksonville_sheriff","23":"tag-jacksonville_sheriffs_office","24":"tag-local","25":"tag-magnolia_gardens","26":"tag-news_jack","27":"tag-northwest_jacksonville","28":"tag-phil_amato","29":"tag-sonia_devon","30":"tag-united-states","31":"tag-united-states-of-america","32":"tag-unitedstates","33":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","34":"tag-us","35":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114983031595726559","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
