On the evening of May 13, 2025, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) officers responded to reports of a man firing a gun and yelling in the 7700 block of Lenox Avenue. Upon arrival, officers encountered 44-year-old Calixto Beavenutti, who was armed and non-compliant. Beavenutti retreated into his residence, prompting the deployment of the SWAT team.
Throughout the ensuing hours-long standoff, Beavenutti exited and re-entered his home multiple times, brandishing his firearm and disregarding officers' commands. At one point, he fired a shot, though it remains unclear if it was directed at law enforcement. The situation escalated when Beavenutti attempted to enter a neighboring home while still armed. Despite repeated warnings to stop and drop his weapon, he continued his approach. Fearing for the safety of potential occupants, SWAT officers Phillip McCranie, Kody Cruz, and Shane Lyons discharged their firearms, fatally wounding Beavenutti. Family members later disclosed that Beavenutti had a history of mental health issues, including signs of schizophrenia, and had been self-medicating.

Neal of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol initiated a traffic stop on Interstate 85 southbound near mile marker 185 for a pickup truck lacking a registration plate. The driver, later identified as 53-year-old Philip Aiken Brown of Creedmoor, provided false information during the stop.

Following the crash, Trooper Neal commanded Brown to show his hands.
