Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Sheriff T.K. Waters and Undersheriff Shawn Coarsey shared details about an officer-involved-shooting. This happened on Julington Creek Road, near Sand Ridge Drive.
Around 5:30 this morning, JSO officers were called to Susie Street, just off Old Middleburg Road North, where they found a man and woman who’d been shot. The woman died from her injuries, and the man is still in the hospital. A person of interest was developed in the investigation. Detectives determined that person had an active warrant for theft. Detectives, intending to arrest him on the outstanding warrant, tracked him to Julington Creek Road around 1:00 this afternoon, where they tried to block his vehicle. The suspect pointed a gun at officers and fired at least once. Five officers returned fire, and the suspect died at the scene.
The suspect has been identified, but his name is being withheld at this time, pending next of kin notification.
The officers who fired shots are Sgt. Eleftheriadis, Det. Prescott, Det. Whitmar,
Det. Walling-Millanes, and K9 Officer Mulhearn. No officers were injured.
This is the 7th officer-involved-shooting this year for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The State Attorney’s Office is on scene, completing its investigation. Once its investigation is complete, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office will conduct its own investigation.
