Jacksonville, FL — A man is dead after a fight about some property escalates in to a stabbing.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded to Newnan and Beaver streets early Monday morning in reference to a fight, and while en route, it was reported that someone had been stabbed. When officers got to the scene, they found a black male laying on the sidewalk, unresponsive. He was taken to the hospital, but died in surgery of a stab to the chest.
JSO says at least two people were fighting over “some type of property”. The suspect fled the scene, but officers found someone matching the suspect description when they canvassed the scene, and that man was detained after a brief foot chase. A witness confirmed that man as the person who had stabbed the victim.
As of 4:30PM, a records request to JSO showed no arrest has yet been made.
