JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Three young men were arrested in connection to a targeted shooting that left a man critically injured, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Terance Williams, 22, Marquise Felton, 19, and Devonne Rivers, 19, have been charged with attempted murder in the shooting of a 22-year-old man at the Hammock Oak Apartments on Acme Street.
According to an arrest report, the 22-year-old man was walking to someone’s car when three men wearing hoodies jumped out of a Black Jeep Wrangler and started shooting at him on Wednesday afternoon.
The police have identified the gun used in the attack, noting that a significant number of bullets were fired, as at least 44 shell casings were found at the scene.
Two of the guns appeared to have extended magazines.
After the shooting, the suspects left in the Jeep with a North Carlina license plate, which was later identified as stolen.
A license plate reader detected the vehicle on Pearl Street, leading to a police pursuit. The suspects abandoned the Jeep and attempted to run near West 40th Street. They were found shortly after, during a response to a burglary in progress on Springfield Boulevard.
The three men are currently being held in the Duval County jail, with each of their bonds set at over $1 million.
If convicted, Williams, Felton, and Rivers could face life in prison.
