JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Police have issued a warrant for the man they believe shot and killed his girlfriend early this morning in Riverside. Detectives are looking for 27-year-old Prince Sanders. Sanders may be driving a 2000 red Chevy Impala with tag 738-4HJ.

Police responded to a call of a person shot at 6:45 a.m on the 700 block of Ralph Street. A 23-year-old woman was transported to the hospital where she died of her injuries.

Police say Sanders and the victim got into a physical fight late last night at the woman's duplex. Police say Sanders returned to the home this morning and shot and killed her.

"They got into an altercation. He produced a handgun and shot and killed her," said JSO Homicide Sgt. Shawn Coarsey.

"It's sad. There's so much killing going on, it's just sad," said Jesse Peterson, a friend of the couple's.

Police are interviewing the woman's roommate for an eyewitness account of what happened.

According to friends, the victim had two kids, ages 3 and 1.

Is she also black? Is this just another instance of black on black crime? Or is it truly domestic violence? Kind of hard to say with all of the past circumstances...
