A father was shot and killed while at home with his son early Monday morning.

The boy, who is around 8- to 10-years-old, called 911 after the shooting to report that his father was hit, the the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office told our News4Jax partner.

When officers arrived at the home on West 26th Street, between Chase Avenue and Stuart Street, the boy led them to the back bedroom where they found his father lying on the floor with a gunshot wound. 

Family members have identified the man as Johnny Duncan, 49. His son was not harmed in the incident. Duncan's sister also adds that his wife just gave birth Sunday.

Police said the gunman fled the home after the shooting and that no suspect information was available at last report.
