Man charged with attempted murder for shooting at mother’s house

ORANGE PARK – The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested a 20-year-old Jacksonville man accused of shooting into his mother’s occupied home in Orange Park on Wednesday, Jan. 22, that left a man with a fractured pelvis.


Jermaine William King is being held on a $1,000,006 bond in the Clay County Jail after JSO turned him over to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshal’s Office on Jan. 23 after he was arrested in the downtown area at the Greyhound bus terminal.


He was charged with attempted second-degree murder and shooting into a dwelling after one person was shot in the buttocks.


According to Sheriff Michelle Cook, King got into an argument with his mother’s fiancée the night before the shooting. He returned the next day to retrieve some belongings, and they argued again. King left again but returned and entered through a screened patio and “shot through a sliding glass door multiple times, striking the victim twice before fleeing the area.”


According to the affidavit for an arrest warrant, a witness told investigators King was aware his mother, two siblings and the victim’s son were in the house when he “intentionally fired projectiles from a firearm into the residence.”
