Over the weekend, a gunman walked into a Cedar Hills home with several young kids inside and fired shots, which left one teen dead and two others hurt.

Five people were inside when the gunman started shooting, including two teens and three children.

They were sleeping early Saturday morning when someone threw a brick into the home.

The suspect shot into the home and then went around to the back. The suspect threw a brick into the sliding door and got in home.

A 9-year-old girl is recovering after she was shot five times. One of the bullets hit her neck.

Her cousin, 18-year-old Zion Brown, was shot and killed.

“He kept shooting until he couldn’t no more,” Zion's sister Stanteria Brown said.

Shanteria said she was hit twice. “I got shot in my leg , there’s a bullet still in here,” she said.

Brown and the four other children were sleeping when they heard a loud noise.

“He threw a brick into our sliding door. That’s what woke me up,” Brown said. She said they quickly dropped to the ground.

The shooter hit Brown, her 9-year-old cousin and Zion. “He was just praying to God that God don’t let him die,” Brown said.

Zion was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

The shooting was just one of eight shootings in Jacksonville since Friday. Twelve people were shot and four people were killed.

And as of right now, police have only arrested two people.

Brown's killer is still on the run.
