JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Police are investigating an early morning shooting near Argyle Forest in Jacksonville.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said police were called to a home in the 7500 block of Ginger Tea Trail around 12:25 a.m. Sunday.

When officers arrived, they found a young man with a gunshot wound near his shoulder. Police said the victim refused to speak to them at the scene about the circumstances that led to him being shot.
