A teenager was arrested for a deadly shooting after a football game in Jacksonville, Florida.
The teen will be charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder, the report said.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said it will hold a news conference about the arrest.
Police said that the shooting after the football game appears to be gang-related.
Joerod Adams, 19, was shot and killed. A 16-year-old girl who goes to Lee High School and a 17-year-old boy who goes to Raines High School were also shot, said police.

On Aug. 17, a week before that shooting, gunfire erupted at William T. Dwyer High School in Palm Beach County. “This shooting WAS NOT a random act of violence,” said the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office at the time. Two people were wounded in the incident, according to The Epoch Times.“Now, they had some information that they very well might be at the football game but they could have been at a bowling alley. … These type of things, because of the people that are involved in it, happen at a time and a place where they can find each other.”
The incident occurred outside of Armijo High School, where high school football game was being held. Police placed the school on lockdown, ABC reported.
Duval County Public Schools Superintendent Diana Greene was at the game between Raines High School and Lee High School. Both schools are part of Duval County Public Schools.
“For it to end in violence like this is unfortunate, and quite frankly, we should all be saying ‘unacceptable,’” Greene told ABC. “Our security procedures for football games were in place, the incident, unfortunately, happened after the game was over.”
“This is evidence that there is a community issue that has to be addressed, and one of those issues includes access to guns,” said Paula Wright, who is a school board member in Jacksonville, according to Fox.
