County : Duval

Agency : Jacksonville Sheriff's Office

Officer(s) : SWAT Officers Phillip McCranie, Kody Cruz, and Shane Lyons

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during mental health crisis

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

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.
