Four Wounded at Lil Poppa Memorial in Jacksonville as Police Hunt Shooter

Detectives are seeking witnesses after gunfire disrupted an unauthorized street gathering on the Eastside.

Overview

  • The shooting broke out just after midnight near A. Philip Randolph Boulevard and Jessie Street, where police say 12 to 15 rounds were fired.
  • Two women, ages 34 and 39, and two men, ages 37 and 43, were injured; one woman was transported by ambulance while three victims drove themselves to hospitals.
  • Investigators have released no suspect description and have not said whether multiple shooters were involved, and they are asking for videos and tips from the public.
  • Lil Poppa, 25, died in Atlanta last week from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a ruling confirmed by the Fulton County Medical Examiner.
  • The Together Eastside Coalition said the family has not approved public memorials and urged people not to organize events without consent, as residents voiced safety concerns about outsiders.
