The Jacksonville Sheriffâs Office is releasing details and video from an officer-involved-shooting that occurred on Normandy Boulevard on Friday, May 4, 2025. The incident details below are preliminary and may evolve as the investigation continues.
This officer-involved-shooting resulted in the death of 40-year-old Michael Lee Wright.
On April 28, 2025, JSO officers responded to Wrightâs mobile home for a reported seizure caused by a narcotics overdose. He became combative with paramedics, was handcuffed and transported. At the hospital he was aggressive with staff and had to be restrained and sedated.
On May 3, 2025, Wrightâs girlfriend chose not to stay at the trailer due to his behavior.
On the morning of May 4, 2025, his girlfriend returned to collect her belongings. She reported he was combative and threw objects at her and her vehicle. She left and requested a police escort back to retriever her property.
JSO Officer P. Burke responded to the call. Upon arrival, Wright, armed with scissors, ran toward the patrol SUV, jumped on the hood and banged on the vehicle while making threats. Officer Burke reversed the vehicle then drove forward striking Wright, who took the eyeglasses off his face and held them in his hand. As Officer Burke exited the vehicle, Wright charged toward him as Officer Burke demanded he âput it down.â Officer Burke then fired his service weapon, striking Wright. Despite attempts to render medical aid, Wright died at the hospital. The scissors Wright had been holding were discovered under the officer's patrol car.
The State Attorneyâs Office will independently review the incident to assess the legality of the officerâs actions. Once that is complete, JSO will conduct an internal review to ensure the officer acted within policy. Then, a Response to Resistance Board will convene, and the findings will be submitted to the Sheriff for final review. JSO is releasing this in the interest of transparency. Conclusions on the incident remain pending.
