The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said it is investigating after a man was shot while driving Friday night.
The man, who is 25 to 30 years old, was shot in his abdomen while his car was traveling south on Philips Highway, police said.
Police were called to Philips Highway and Baymeadows Road, where they found all the windows of the white car had been shattered.
An employee who works near Baymeadows and Philips tells Action News Jax the shooting happened elsewhere.
Police found shell casings near Philips and J. Turner Butler Boulevard and investigators are working to figure out if those are related to this shooting.
The victim, who was taken to Memorial Hospital, is cooperating with the investigation. Police do not have any suspect information at this time.
