By First Coast News Staff

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Two teens were shot at The Preserves Apartments in Paradise Island on the Southside Saturday, during an apparent robbery gone bad. One of those teens died.

Police say four teens tried to rob a man at gunpoint in the parking lot of the apartment complex.

Investigators say the victim of the robbery was also armed with a gun. They say, as he tried to get away, a fight started. That's when the victim apparently pulled out his own gun and fired several shots, hitting two of the suspects.

David U. McCray, 16, was killed. Aaron J. Muhammad, 17, was also shot and injured. The two other teens allegedly involved, Carl A. Jones, 15, and Oren A. Louder, 18, are in police custody.
