A woman is dead and another woman was injured following a reported assault in the Brown's Creek area Tuesday morning, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
JSO said it got a call about a battery in progress in the 5100 block of Heckscher Drive around 9:41 a.m. When authorities arrived, an adult woman was found dead and another woman was found suffering from non-life threatening injuries, according to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department. The injured woman was taken to the hospital.
Police say they believe the incident started inside of a home in the area, but it also appeared to have continued outdoors. They also said the person who made the 911 call was involved.
Police did detain all parties involved, including witnesses and a person of interest, JSO said. They have yet to determine if he is a suspect.
At this time, it isn't known what caused the assault or if it is domestic-related, JSO said.
