City : Lakeland

County : Polk

State : Florida

Agency : Polk County Sheriff’s Office

Officer(s) : Lt. Chad Anderson, Deputy Craig Smith

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Sovereign citizen killed during traffic stop

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On April 27, 2024, at approximately 12:22 a.m., Deputy Shannon Conover of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office patrolled Hunt Fountain Park in Lakeland, Florida, due to recent burglary incidents. The park had closed over two hours earlier. Deputy Conover approached a white Mercedes-Benz occupied by 26-year-old Kyran Caples. Caples, dressed in all-white attire, refused to provide identification or exit the vehicle. Deputy Conover requested backup; Lt. Chad Anderson and Deputy Craig Smith arrived. As the deputies attempted to engage Caples, his vehicle began to move. When the deputies tried to stop the vehicle, Caples fired five shots, striking Lt. Anderson in the left arm, with the bullet lodging near his heart and spinal column, and hitting Deputy Smith twice in the right arm. The deputies, along with additional officers, opened fire, discharging 38 rounds and striking Caples eight times, resulting in his death at the park.
.
Investigations indicated that Caples had no prior criminal record. He had adopted the Moorish sovereign citizen ideology during his time at California State University, Fresno. Sovereign citizens often refuse to cooperate with police, not recognizing them as authorities whose orders they must follow.
.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is investigating the incident, and the deputies remain on administrative leave. No determination has been made on whether the deputies’ actions were justified.
.
NUMBER OF CASUALTIES DURING THIS POLICE ENCOUNTER: 1 fatality, 2 injured.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 04/27/2024, Broward County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call reporting lewd and lascivious behavior near North Powerline Road in Pompano Beach, Florida. Deputy Wyatt Jennesse, 24, struck and killed Jamil Moreland, 28, on Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard. The incident occurred as Deputy Jennesse was first approaching the location of Moreland, who was in the left thru lane of the roadway. It was approximately 5:32 a.m., and low lighting conditions may have contributed to reduced visibility, as Moreland was reportedly lying or crouched in the roadway. Investigators confirmed that Moreland was the subject of the lewd behavior report. They stated that excessive speed was not a factor in the crash, and it remains unclear if Moreland was within a marked crosswalk. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation.
