One man is dead following a Tuesday-afternoon shooting outside an apartment complex in the 6900 block of Morse Avenue and another showed up at a hospital, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Officers were called to the Savannah Springs Apartments just east of Interstate 295 at 3:45 p.m. after reports of someone shot.

Sgt. Doug Molina said they found one man dead, then officers were sent to a hospital after the other man was dropped off with another gunshot wound.

"We do believe the incidents are possibly related but are working to confirm that," he said.

Police did not say what the condition of the man at the hospital was or what led up to the shootings.

Detectives are looking for witnesses in the shooting, asking that anyone with information to call the Sheriff's Office at (904) 630-0500 or First Coast Crime Stoppers at (866) 845-8477 (TIPS).
