Local television affiliate WINK News near Fort Myers, Fla., reported a shooting that took place on Christmas Eve in Immokalee, Fla.

According to the report, Florida freshman cornerback JC Jackson was sitting in a car along with West Virginia Jacky Marcellus and his brother Jackinson Marcellus when “one or two men walked up to the car and fired.”

Both Jackson and Jacky Marcellus walked away with minor injuries as bullets only grazed them. Unfortunately, Jackinson Marcellus took the brunt of the attack and was shot in the face. He is currently in critical condition at Lee Memorial Hospital.

Officers say that the car was parked outside of Crestview Apartments as the three men were visiting friends when the car was fired upon.

It’s been a rough few weeks for Jackson. In addition to the Christmas Eve shooting, the UF cornerback was involved in a legal incident on Dec. 13, when he and two other UF players — Treon Harris and Jalen Tabor — were pulled over by police for speeding.

Harris was charged with a second-degree misdemeanor for driving without a license. Police did find marijuana in the car, but because the vehicle did not belong to any of the players and no one admitted to owning the marijuana, no possession of marijuana charges were filed.

Jackson took a redshirt this year after shoulder surgery a few weeks into the season.
