A teenage boy was hospitalized in stable condition after being shot early Wednesday in Jacksonville’s Moncrief neighborhood, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
Officers were dispatched about 12:38 a.m. Oct. 14 to the 1400 block of West 30th Street, where they found the teen with apparent gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and was undergoing surgery, so investigators had not yet been able to interview him, police said.
Detectives recovered shell casings and were processing the scene and following up on leads. No suspect had been identified. Police said they believe the shooting was isolated and did not appear to be domestic-related.
