A neighbor-triggered welfare check occurred Saturday, May 9, on Sherman Hills Parkway West in Blue Lake Estates, according to First Coast News. A separate death investigation was reported on Jacksonville's Westside, near the intersection of Lane Avenue and Biddy Lane, as reported by News4JAX. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is investigating the deaths.

Two bodies were found inside.

JSO is calling the case a death investigation stemming from an incident at 430 Lane Avenue South, according to Yahoo News. Beyond confirming the location and the discovery of the two bodies, investigators have not released details about what led to the deaths or the relationship between the two victims.

Death Investigation Underway

The sheriff's office is investigating the deaths, per the station's report.

Plans for a media briefing were reported with conflicting times: the same News4JAX report says JSO intended to hold a news conference at 3:50 p.m. local time to release more information, while Yahoo's account states police planned to brief reporters at 4 p.m. Friday, as noted by Action News Jax. It is not yet known from the available reporting what, if anything, was disclosed at that briefing.

Neighbors near Lane Avenue and Biddy Lane have not been named in connection with the case, and no additional identifying information about the two victims has been released. Hoodline will update this story as more verified details emerge from the investigation.
