Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Sheriff T.K. Waters and Chief Alan Parker delivered details about an officer-involved-shooting after responding to assist the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department with a combative subject.
Just after 11:00 pm, on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, patrol officers responded to the 12500 block of Brahma Bull Circle following a call for assistance by JFRD. Upon arrival, they approached a home and heard loud frantic screaming from two individuals - a male and a female. As they approached a locked bedroom door inside the residence, they identified this room to be the location where the screaming was coming from and had to force their way in. Upon kicking the door in, they observed a male on top of a female pulling her hair as she held and appeared to be shielding a child. The officers gave several commands for the male to release the female and back away, but he refused and continued to aggressively attack her. The officers used their CEW, or 'Taser' which allowed the female time to escape harm's way with the child.
The officers disengaged the subject and began communicating with him in attempts to get him to come out of the bedroom. This communication continued for more than 30 minutes as they attempted to safely get him into custody. At a certain point, the suspect came out of the bedroom, into a larger open room, though he remained verbally combative and taking aggressive postures. As officers attempted to take him into custody, he continued to fight their efforts, and again the suspect was tased. The suspect fought through the effects of the Taser, continuing to aggressively fight officers. As a result of the suspects actions, two officers and a sergeant ultimately engage the suspect with their issued firearms and shoot the suspect, ending the threat.
The suspect was transported to a local medical facility for treatment but succumbed to his injuries. The suspect's identity was not immediately available.
Officers involved were treated for injuries as a result of the incident.
Homicide - Cold Case Detectives responded to conduct their initial investigation alongside the State Attorney's Office who will conduct an independent investigation.
