Florida Teen Killed in Shootout During Vigil for Another Slain Teen

A teenager was fatally shot and another was injured during a vigil at a Jacksonville park for a Florida teen killed in a separate shooting.

Authorities say more than two dozen gathered Friday to honor 17-year-old Johnell Johnson, who was gunned down last month.

Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said the quiet vigil turned deadly as shots rang out, killing 18-year-old Jaquan Reeves and sending another unidentified victim to the hospital with unspecified injuries.

NBC affiliate WTLV reports the shooting may be gang related. Authorities are interviewing witnesses and are also asking more to come forward.
