JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville family is torn apart, after a beloved Arlington business owner was shot and killed outside his shop Monday.
"He had a big heart, he was so generous to his loved ones" Lateshia Taylor, the victim's sister said. "He was a hard-working man."
James Taylor, 48, operated JT’s Tires Shop on Arlington Road for 12 years.
“He loved that shop. His customers loved him. The community loved him. You didn't just come up there to get a tire," she said. "You got some jokes. You got some laughter. Nobody was a customer, everybody was a friend."
