JACKSONVILLE, Fla — One person is dead and another was injured after a group of individuals opened fire on another group outside a San Jose-area gas station Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, at about 4:30 p.m., officers responded to a shooting call at a gas station in the 6000 block of Powers Avenue.
Investigators believe one group of people was standing outside the convenience store at the station when a white SUV and a white sedan pulled up to the gas pumps. A group of people exited those vehicles and began firing "several gunshots" on the people outside the store then left the scene, JSO said.
There were more than 70 evidence markers at the scene.
Police did not specify how many people were involved. However, JSO did say that it was a "large crowd" with between 3-10 people involved in each group. They also said they believe the shooting was targeted.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, JSO said. First responders took him to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Another man injured in the shooting drove himself to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. JSO says he is not believed to be involved with either groups. There was a child in the car with the injured man who was present at the time of the shooting but was not hurt.
So far, no one is in custody, however JSO is interviewing witnesses.
