News4JAX records show it was the 21st homicide in Duval County in 2022.
“I was laying in bed when we heard the shots. The shots are pretty common in this neighborhood. The joke around the house is that it’s always fireworks but it was not fireworks this time.”“It wasn’t until I saw the lights from outside the window that I knew that this was a different shooting than what normally occurs in here,” said Sanabria.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, officers responded to a shooting at the Downtown East Apartments on Franklin Street around 12:30 a.m. Officers found the body of a man believed to be in his 30s in the parking lot. Neighbors said they heard between seven to eight gunshots.Neighbors said crime is an issue on the eastside.
“I hate that it happens here and it’s unfortunate because of the amount of shootings and the amount of times that I see emergency and first responders,” said Sanabria.Since the crime reduction program was implemented, only two homicides were reported on the eastside in 2021. Sunday’s homicide marks the first homicide on the eastside for 2022. Sanabria said it’s one homicide too many.
