The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office released footage showing an officer fatally shoot a knife-wielding man after he refused to drop his weapons.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office released body camera footage from the officer-involved shooting that killed a knife-wielding man on the Westside in early May. 

Officers were dispatched to Jillian Drive Friday, May 2 in response to a reported fight that had resulted in injuries. When officer D. Zheng arrived at the scene, he said he saw 58-year-old Norbal Garcia Jr. armed with two knives. 

Body camera footage released Saturday shows the same, and shows Garcia standing over two bloodied individuals, noted by JSO as the victims, who were couched against a blood-stained fence. JSO said one of the victims was injured when Zheng arrived. 

The footage shows Zheng shout at Garcia multiple times, ordering him to drop the knives, but Garcia ignores Zheng’s orders. Instead, Garcia continues his interaction with the two victims at the fence and eventually takes multiple steps toward them, which is when Zheng shoots him. 

JSO said Zheng administered emergency aid to Garcia until paramedics arrived. 

Garcia was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died.
