Erica Norton said her 29-year-old son, Joshua King, died after a shooting last month (on May 13th) around the corner from his grandparent’s house in the Fort Caroline Oaks subdivision off Fort Caroline Road.
She said King leaves behind an almost 2-year-old girl.
“My son Joshua king was a father,” Norton said. “My grandchild is not going to know her father other than pictures and what people tell her.”
Norton told News4Jax her son was shot in the back on Rifle Run Court and was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries on the night of May 13, but died while in surgery.
No arrests have been made in the case.
Neighbors described Sunday’s shooting as a war zone. “It was like I was back in Vietnam," said a Brooklyn Road resident who asked not to be identified. “I was looking at TV and I heard pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, and it sounds like an automatic weapon. But it’s so regular I didn’t pay too much attention.”
The Florida Highway Patrol is asking for help tracking down a vehicle that may have been involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash downtown Friday morning.
Troopers say that Jimmie Eldon Youngman, 50, was killed in the incident.
FHP initially responded to a crash that happened around 12:30 a.m. near Interstate-95 and 8th Street. They say a green Ford Expedition was traveling northbound on I-95 when they noticed a pedestrian lying in the right travel lane.
The Expedition was unable to avoid the pedestrian before coming to a stop on the right shoulder, says FHP.
The investigation later revealed that the pedestrian had already been struck by an unknown newer model black vehicle that had fled the scene.
Anyone with information on the unknown black vehicle please contact the Florida Highway Patrol at 904-301-3700 or To be eligible for a cash reward up to $3,000 contact First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-8477.
