Family has identified the Jacksonville man killed Thursday in a fight on Pearl Street that resulted in two people shot and three stabbed.

Stephen Michael Burt Jr., 24, was one of the ones shot. His mother posted on Facebook that his father was killed a month before he was born and his little brother died at 14.

Police haven't released any new information in what happened Thursday. They previously said they were initially alerted to the scene by their ShotSpotter system about 1:30 p.m. and then started getting calls. They found Burt inside a home and also were directed to separate crime scenes on 23rd and Fifth streets where the violence continued.

Others showed up at the hospital. In total it was determined there were two gunshot victims and three with lacerations. The others weren't life threatening, police said. They also were looking for a red Dodge Charger or Challenger that fled one of the scenes.
