A teenager was wounded early Wednesday morning when he was caught in the crossfire of a shootout between two vehicles in the Arlington area, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
Investigators said the teen suffered a single gunshot wound to his back and is expected to be OK. He was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
According to JSO, the teen was walking down Rogero Road around 1:45 a.m., about a block north of Fort Caroline Road, when the occupants of two vehicles began shooting at each other.
It’s unclear what prompted the gunfire, but the teen was struck, police said.
JSO said the cars, both Hyundais, were later recovered, but the occupants of one of the cars ran off.
Three people from one of the cars were detained, and three guns were recovered “in and around” that vehicle, JSO said.
Anyone with information about the shootout is asked to call the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500.
