A masked gunman shot a Jacksonville man in his front yard in Magnolia Gardens Wednesday. Police think a man climbed the fence into his backyard.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Authorities report that a Jacksonville man was in his front yard with a relative on Wednesday when a masked shooter emerged from the backyard and began firing shots.

Sergeant Johnson from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Robbery and Violent Crimes Unit stated that officers responded to the 5600 block of Vernon Road shortly after 5:30 p.m. following reports of a shooting.

Upon their arrival, they discovered a man in his early 30s in the front yard, injured with gunshot wounds to his elbow and hip. He was immediately taken to the hospital by the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department and is now in stable condition after receiving surgery.

Police believe the suspect jumped a fence to gain access to the yard and then fled the scene on foot. It’s unclear whether the gunman got into a vehicle afterward.

JSO said only one suspect was involved, but a clear motive has not been established. Shell casings were recovered from the scene, and officers are reviewing surveillance footage in the area. No other homes were struck by gunfire.

Authorities say the investigation is still in its early stages, and they do not believe this shooting is related to another incident reported earlier in the day.

Anyone with information is urged to contact JSO at (904) 630-0500 or submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS. Tips can also be emailed to JSO at JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org.
