An argument between a pedestrian and a driver ended in deadly gunfire Saturday afternoon on Justina Road in the Arlington Manor neighborhood, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.

Officers said when they arrived at the scene, they found the pedestrian in the road suffering from several gunshot wounds. The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department took him to a hospital, where he died.

Officers said the incident occurred near several apartment complexes, so investigators are canvassing in search of any surveillance video, and they ask that if anyone did witness the incident they contact JSO by phone at 904-630-0500, by email atCopyright 2022 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
