JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday that a man has been detained in relation to the shooting death of an 18-year-old woman in Jacksonville.

In a news release, JSO said Stephan Smith, 23, was arrested on a warrant in connection to 18-year-old Xzaria Randall’s murder.

According to JSO, just before 1 a.m. on Saturday, patrol officers responded to the 5800 block of Rover Road following a report of the shooting, as told to First Coast News. JSO Sgt. Highfill explained that a party was underway when a fight erupted, leading to gunfire.
