The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said the homeowner was detained for questioning.<\/p>\n
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A homeowner shot and killed a man who Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office investigators believe was trying to break in to his house in Jacksonville’s Brentwood area early Friday morning.<\/p>\n
JSO Sgt. M.W. Highfill said around 3:45 a.m., officers responded to the shooting on North Pearl Street.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived on scene, Highfill said they found a man who had been shot multiple times.<\/p>\n
JFRD crews arrived on scene and pronounced the man dead, Highfill said.<\/p>\n
The shooting is still under investigation, but Highfill said investigators believe the man shot was trying to break into the home.<\/p>\n
“What we know now is that an individual was involved possibly in a burglary at the residence at the time of the incident, and the homeowner, in defense of himself, shot the person inside his home,” Highfill said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One person, the homeowner, has been detained for questioning, Highfill said.<\/p>\n
Highfill further explained that the relationship between the homeowner and man killed is unknown, and that “it appears” the man made entry into the home.<\/p>\n
