JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is now investigating its eighth officer-involved shooting of 2025. Two officer-involved shootings took place within the span of 48 hours.

The first happened Friday night after JSO found a man standing over two people holding knives. The second happened Sunday morning after JSO says a man attacked an officer’s patrol vehicle and charged at him with an object in his hand.

First Coast News obtained surveillance video of Sunday’s scene. It captures the moment 40-year-old Michael Lee Wright was shot by an officer in the Normandy Estates Mobile Home Park.

JSO said Wright’s girlfriend asked an officer to escort her home so she could gather her things after Wright tried to stop her from leaving earlier that day. 

The surveillance video shows Wright hitting the officer’s patrol vehicle, then following the officer as he is backing up. The video then captures the officer hitting Wright with his vehicle. 

First Coast News Crime and Safety Analyst Mark Baughman watched the video for the first time Monday.

“I mean, this was all non-lethal until he decides to take the run at the officer with the weapon, it appears like,” Baughman explained.

Wright can then be seen charging at the officer while possibly holding an object in his hand. JSO said a pair of scissors was found under the patrol car. 

“It’s clear he kind of sees this object. He gives the verbal commands and tells him to drop it, and he doesn’t comply and he charges at the officer,” Baughman said.

This incident marks the eighth officer-involved shooting of 2025, which matches the total number of officer-involved shootings for the entire year of 2024. However, Baughman does not consider these numbers to be alarming.

“You can go to the most serene or what might be the most general information call, and it can heighten and turn into a deadly force within seconds sometimes. That’s just why officers have to be prepared to deal with that,” Baughman said.

All eight incidents are now under investigation and pending review. All eight officer-involved shootings in 2024 are also still under review. Baughman added that these types of investigations take time.

“The fact that they’re not being released yet doesn’t mean they’re not being transparent. You have three independent investigations. They all have to be concluded before this sheriff’s gonna come back out and give a statement on what they did, how it played out, whether it was a justified shooting,” Baughman said.
