Rasheem Edwards

Age :26

Gender :Male

Race : Black

Date : 10/24/2023

Location : SE Maricamp+Emerald Rd

City : Silver Springs Shores

County : Marion

State : Florida

Agency : Marion County Sheriff's Office

Officer(s) : Formally invoked Marsy’s Law

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police while fleeing from traffic stop

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Rasheem Edwards was traffic-stopped on a dirt bike because it had no reg tags in Silver Springs Shores, FL and allegedly ran on foot from the traffic stop with officers claiming he was open-carrying a gun. Police allege that he had pulled it out and they shot and killed him.

Eyewitnesses state that police shot and killed the man 75 feet from the crowd near a football field and children stated that the man collapsed and died in front of them. Police had not reported this detail initially when they announced the death and had not revealed that the officer had fired his weapon near a crowded field with children and parents. Parents are quite upset and were offered free counseling by the police department.

The officer has formally invoked Marsy’s Law, a law originally created to shield the identities of crime victims. Police in Florida and several other states routinely abuse Marsy’s Law to hide the names of killer cops. Marsy’s Law has officially been requested by the officer to hide his name.

Daniel Brown

Age :63

Gender :Male

Race : Unknown

Date : 10/18/2023

Location : SR 200

City : Ocala

County : Marion

State : Florida

Agency : Marion County SO

Officer(s) : Brandon Jaglal

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Bicyclist killed by police cruiser crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Daniel Brown, an unhoused 63-year-old cyclist, was riding east on State Road 200 around 3 a.m. near On Top of the World, a retirement community. East of the intersection with Southwest 80 Avenue, a sheriff’s office SUV came flying at 96 mph in a 50 mph zone without lights or sirens and with evidence that no brakes were ever used and hit and killed Brown on his bicycle. The deputy told troopers he could not see the cyclist before hitting them. Daniel Brown died at the scene.
Deputy Jaglal could have been charged with vehicular homicide but was cleared of criminal charges and was cited for failure to use due care when approaching a pedestrian or bicyclist. The ticket, the only repercussion for this deputy, requires a mandatory court appearance. Jalal's driver's license could be suspended for up to six months, and he could be fined up to $1,000. The case is pending a court appearance.
