Of the six people shot, five were reportedly transported by emergency vehicles and one person was transported in a private vehicle.
Police say three of the six people shot are in critical condition.
The ages of the victims range from 20s from 70s, police say, consisting of five men and one woman.
Fans walking to their cars on A. Phillip Randolph after the game found crime scene tape, officers and flashing lights.
“Oh my God,” said Jaguars fan Rebecca Clark. “I don't even know how to react.”
Some had parked inside JSO’s perimeter, and were escorted to their cars by police.
“I can't get to my car, which is selfish at this point in time, and I'm heartbroken for our city,” said Clark. “I'm absolutely heartbroken and I'm tired of it.”
Action News reached to the Jaguars for comment on Sunday's shootings and possible impact on the safety of fans.
We were told, “We have been instructed that this is a JSO matter..."
