Cole was there as a tow truck, followed by a JSO car, left the scene. JSO did not say what role the car played in the shooting or who the car belonged to.
Action News Jax reporter Courtney Cole said that the victim's family members weren’t comfortable talking on camera. They want people to know that he was a good kid, who came from a good family, and that this shouldn’t have happened.
Cole was also there as a van drove into Morningside Apartments to retrieve the body of the man who was shot and killed. She said there were "quite a few people standing near the crime scene tape."
JSO said they received several calls about a shooting, which led to their response at Morningside apartment complex in the Cedar Hills area.
