Man killed in shooting near Southside restaurant Copeland's Wednesday afternoon: JSO
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is investigating after a man was shot and killed on the Southside Wednesday afternoon. When Action News Jax arrived at the scene outside of Copeland's restaurant Wednesday afternoon, there were more than ten JSO vehicles on scene, with the entire perimeter blocked off. [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] JSO said it responded to the scene around 2 P.M., where officers found a man in his late 30s with one gunshot wound to the chest. Employees from a coffee shop next door told Action News Jax that they heard multiple gunshots while in the parking lot just before police arrived. The man was reportedly taken to a nearby hospital by fire rescue, but did not survive. JSO said Wednesday evening that its investigation revealed the man was there for a meeting of some kind. Three people of interest were detained for interviews, but it's unclear if any of them were the shooter. JSO said it was still looking for one vehicle of interest, a black four-door car that may be a Nissan. The car left the parking lot and drove southbound on Southside Boulevard. Anyone with information on the shooting or suspects involved is asked to reach out to JSO or Crime Stoppers. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Jacksonville man arrested, accused of making online threat to run over ICE protesters
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday that it arrested a man accused of threatening to run over people protesting against ICE. JSO said it received a tip about the social media threat on Tuesday, which its Intelligence Unit linked back to 26-year-old Zachary Degross. Detectives visited Degross's home Wednesday, where JSO said he willingly submitted to an interview about the post, in which the writer threatened to 'grab my buddies tow truck and plow through' groups of protesters. Below is a screenshot of the threat, provided by JSO: 'It is your constitutional right to peacefully protest. What you do not have the right to do is threaten others,' said JSO on Wednesday. Degross was arrested and booked into the Duval County jail on a second-degree felony charge, Sending Written Threats to Conduct an Act of Terrorism. 'If you are making threats online to harm others, even if you don't intend to follow through with that action, we will arrest you,' said JSO. 'We are monitoring protests nationwide, and we will continue to work hard to protect everyone in Jacksonville.' Anyone who sees a threat online about harming others is encouraged to report it to law enforcement. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks]

‘She was cold to the touch'; Man says he tried to save 1-month-old baby found dead in hotel room
Neighbors said they found a 1-month-old baby girl unresponsive inside a DeKalb County hotel room on June 4. The baby's mother is facing charges. 'This is ridiculous for somebody to hurt a child like that,' the hotel maintenance worker told Channel 2's Audrey Washington. He asked his name not be used in the report. 'It's just sad that it happened. I hate that happened,' witness Tyrone Stewart said. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] People at the DeKalb County hotel said they first heard the screams before they rushed in to help the baby in hotel room 106. 'Help, help, my baby's not breathing,' one woman said she heard. The maintenance worker recounted how he and his partner tried to save the baby. 'She was doing CPR on the baby. The baby didn't look like it was alive and it was cold,' the maintenance worker said. Washington obtained exclusive video of the response effort. According to the criminal warrant, the 1-month-old baby girl had been dead for hours. She suffered a fractured skull and bruising to the face. The warrant also stated that inside the hotel room were two other children, a 7-year-old, and a 1-year-old. Stewart said the surviving children were in bad shape. 'They looked like they were homeless. They needed, you know needed help,' said Stewart. The mother of the children, 25-year-old Tamara Salter, is accused of leaving all three children alone. Salter is charged with felony murder, three counts of reckless conduct and child cruelty, authorities said. The maintenance worker said Salter left her children alone before. 'We gave her a warning then. We said, 'You cannot leave these kids alone. If you need help, ask for help,'' he said. 'Being a father, it's hard to see any child hurt, and that one, it was so little,' he said. It's still unclear how the baby got hurt. At last check, Salter is still in custody.
