JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — No injuries are being reported after a shooting incident involving a stolen car in the Arlington area Wednesday, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Police say at 5:45 a.m. a car was reported stolen from the 3200 block of Justina Road. Later on, shortly after 8 a.m., a family member of the victim noticed the stolen car driving westbound on Merrill Road.
JSO says the family member made an attempt to get the person driving the car to pull over, but they refused.
As the driver was attempting to flee, police say they crashed the car into another car at the intersection of Merrill Road and Cesery Boulevard. The person driving the stolen car reportedly ran from the vehicle and while running they began shooting.
JSO says the family member who initially attempted to get them to pull over returned fire.
Police say a search of the area was unsuccessful in locating the driver of the stolen car. The family member remained on the scene and has been very cooperative, according to officers.
JSO says at this time they do not believe that anyone was hit by gunfire.
The person reportedly driving the stolen car is being described by police as an adult man, about 5-feet and 9-inches tall with dreadlocks. He was last seen wearing all black.
