Investigations into the rash of shots fired incidents in the city of Jacksonville remain ongoing.
This week, Crime Stoppers of Morgan, Scott & Cass Counties are requesting information to assist the Jacksonville Police Department in their investigation of the latest incident of gunshots fired in the city.
At approximately 9:50 pm on Saturday, June 3, officers responded to a call in the 700 block of Allen Avenue for a report of multiple shots being fired at a residence.
