Members of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office mounted patrol keep watch Thursday, May 12, 2022, at Andrew Jackson High School, where a teen was shot a daily earlier.

The Sheriff's Office's mounted patrol slowly circled Andrew Jackson High School on Thursday, a day after a 17-year-old boy was shot on the sidewalk outside.

On each circuit, the horses and officers passed the spot where the teen was wounded in a broad-daylight drive-by, now marked by a First Coast Crime Stoppers sign on West 28th Street offering a reward for anonymous tips in the case.

The Sheriff's Office said the teen was shot about 3 p.m. as he walked outside the technology magnet school joined by others, listed in serious but stable condition as of late Wednesday.
