Gunfire involved during home invasion in Flagler Estates

Media Relations Officer Kevin Kelshaw reported to Historic City News that a man and woman are being sought in connection with an attempted home invasion of a Flagler Estates resident this morning.

Deputies responded to a residence in the 10,000 block of Isom Ave., at 7:20 a.m. in reference to a home invasion in progress.

Major Crimes Unit Detectives met with the 55-year old male victim who stated that he was awakened by a knock on the door a short time earlier.

The victim observed a female who was requesting assistance in getting her vehicle out of a ditch. When the victim walked out he observed a male subject wearing a mask and pointing a gun.

The victim ran back inside the residence as the male subject fired two shots towards the victim.

The two suspects then ran from the residence and possibly fled in a silver colored Ford Mustang with a black convertible top, and front end and rear bumper damage.

The two suspects were white wearing blue long sleeve shirts and dark pants. The male suspect had dark hair with a goatee and the female had long red hair.

Anyone with any information concerning the identity of these suspects is asked to contact Detective David Blanton at the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office at (904) 209-2193. You can also remain anonymous and possibly be eligible for a cash reward by calling CrimeStoppers of N.E. Florida at 1-(888) 277-TIPS (8477).
