The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says that a man was shot multiple times at the Lexington Hotel on the Southbank on Sunday.
JSO patrol units responded to 1515 Prudential Drive at 4:45 a.m. in reference to a person shot. Upon arrival, officers say they found a man with multiple gunshot wounds in the hallway of one of the upper floors. He was taken to a local hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Officers determined the injured man was in a dispute with a known adult male inside one of the hotel rooms. The altercation escalated into a physical confrontation, resulting in one of the males getting shot.
Detectives from the Aggravated Battery unit responded to conduct the investigation.
According to JSO, all people involved were visiting town and not from Jacksonville.
