JSO reported the teen victim, Mekel Queen was killed in a dispute-turned-shooting in the 10700 block of Java Drive in the Sandalwood area Saturday.

Action News Jax’s Nick Gibson spoke to Donnell Queen, who identified his son, 15-year-old Mekel, as the victim who was shot and killed.

Mekel Queen, the eldest of five children, attended Sandalwood High School and harbored dreams of becoming a businessman one day, according to his father.

“Since I’m completely blind... his passion was trying to become a barber. That’s where we would have most of our talks... I let him cut my hair and practice on me,” Queen revealed.

Donnell Queen told Gibson that gun violence in the city of Jacksonville needs to stop.

“I just feel like violence of any type it’s just uncalled for. I know in today’s generation gun violence is at an all-time high everywhere in the world, but I definitely want justice for my son.”
