On October 28, 2024, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) officers J. Rose and J. Montgomery were investigating a carjacking on Eaverson Street in the Hogans Creek neighborhood when they encountered 54-year-old Djuan Jackson. Jackson, who had no connection to the carjacking, was near the victim’s family and was alleged to have been holding what appeared to be a knife. Officers claimed Jackson made stabbing motions toward a family member and fired multiple shots at him after commanding him to drop the object. Jackson was pronounced dead at the scene.
.
The object Jackson was holding was later identified as a butter knife. Body-worn camera footage released by JSO shows officers issuing commands before firing. After shooting Jackson, officers placed him in handcuffs and attempted medical aid, but he died from his injuries. No officers or bystanders were reported injured.

Jackson’s daughter has criticized the response, pointing out his mental health issues and questioning why lethal force was necessary for a man armed with a butter knife.

When an event was hosted at the Bravo hookah lounge for Kayas Kitchen on 10/27/2024, Day’shaun Colen was seen in a crowd on security video holding a door open to help employees enter the premises. A bystander is seen, grabbing him by the neck and stomach, and one of two armed security guards working for Apex Tactical Security started an altercation for unknown reasons. One of the officers pulled out a weapon and shot and killed Colen. The officer was apparently upset because during the altercation that security themselves started, one of the officers hit their head against the glass door. After that, when Colen was already detained, the guard pulled out a gun and deliberately shot and killed him. After gravely injuring Colen, the guard apparently did not help him, but instead helped another bystander look for a lost ring. The friends of Colen put him in the vehicle and drove him to the hospital themselves as security was of no help.Colon had been unarmed and was attacked by security leading to his death. He was the father of three little girls and was well loved by a very large family.
