A man died Friday morning after he was shot multiple times in the Brentwood neighborhood, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
JSO said early investigation indicates that the man may have been involved in a burglary at a home on North Pearl Street, and the homeowner shot him “in defense of himself.”
“Based on what the initial thing that we’ve seen now, it appears the individual may have made entry into the home,” JSO Sergeant Highfill said during a news briefing.
The man died at the scene, JSO said. Police did not identify him.
According to Highfill, the homeowner has been detained and is being questioned in connection with the incident.
JSO said the relationship of those involved is still under investigation.
