Two Jacksonville Police Shootings Minutes Apart Leave One Dead, One Wounded

Prosecutors are reviewing both cases before internal police inquiries.

Overview

  • Police say the first incident began at the Luxor Club Apartments in Bartram Park after a domestic dispute call around 8:30 p.m.
  • Officials identified the man killed as 35-year-old Daniel Rodriguez, who officers say pulled a handgun before J. Rodrick and J. Milam fired.
  • Minutes later in Arlington, officers encountered a man with a rifle in a garage who dropped the weapon and was detained, according to police.
  • Investigators say the man’s father, 68-year-old Offero Manalon, then picked up the rifle and pointed it at officers, prompting shots by M. Ross, Q. Kincaid and G. Hernandez, a SWAT standoff of about three hours, tear gas deployment, and his surrender; his condition was not disclosed.
  • Undersheriff Shawn Coarsey said a neighbor believed a house may have been struck by gunfire, and officials noted these were the first officer-involved shootings reported locally this year.
