The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal shooting that occurred Friday night in Northwest Jacksonville.
According to JSO, a ShotSpotter alert was activated around 9:30 p.m., prompting a nearby patrol officer to respond. Upon arrival, the officer was directed to a woman, believed to be between 60 and 70 years old, who had been shot in the head while sitting in a chair on the sidewalk on Grothe Street. Jacksonville Fire and Rescue pronounced her dead at the scene.
