The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said it is investigating a shooting in North Jacksonville.

JSO said the shooting is in the 10400 block of East Gailwood Circle, which is off of Dunn Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard.

Investigators are searching for the gunman who shot two teens in the overnight drive by shooting that killed one and injured another.

According to police, a silver LaSabre pulled up behind the 18 and 19 year-old who were walking down the street and opened fire.

“I tried to tell myself it was fireworks, but then after a minute it stopped and then there was one last really loud bang and I knew it was definitely not fireworks,” said a neighbor.

JSO said they will release the identities of the victims after appropriate notification has been made to the family of the deceased 18-year-old.

JSO is asking if anyone has information concerning this incident, please call the JSO Homicide Unit through JSO’s non-emergency number or through CrimeStoppers.
