The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is working to identify a baby who was found in the back of a car Wednesday with a man and woman shot dead near West Beaver Street.

Officers responded to the 1000 block of Westbrook Circle about 3:15 p.m. after a reported hit-and-run crash, but they quickly realized there were shooting victims inside the vehicle, Chief Tom Hackney said.

He said the child found in the back of the black Nissan Maxima is likely about 6 months old and will be in the custody of the Department of Children and Families until a relative can be located. The girl does not appear to be injured, Hackney said.

It looks as though the man was driving with the woman in the passenger seat, Hackney said. Both were shot at least once.

"It doesn't appear that this is any kind of murder-suicide," he said.

Preliminary indications lead investigators to think the shooter was inside the car at some point, but what happened next is unclear. There were no bullet holes on the outside of the car from what police could see, Hackney said. The car was in motion after the shooting and ended up crashing into a car port in a nearby yard.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the baby can call the Sheriff's Office at (904) 630-0500. To remain anonymous and receive a possible cash reward, contact Crime Stoppers at (866) 845-TIPS.
