Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Undersheriff Shawn Coarsey and Chief Michael Paul shared details about an officer-involved shooting. This happened on Egrets Nest Drive off Gran Bay Parkway around 8:30 p.m. on Monday, January 5, 2026.
Multiple people at an area apartment complex called 9-1-1 over concerns about a domestic dispute that had been occurring between a man and woman, who were married. One of the callers was an employee at the complex. At one point, the man left the complex, but returned a short time later with a gun. When District 3 officers arrived on scene, they separated the couple. After speaking to the woman, the officers approached the man to get his side of the story. As they approached, that suspect pulled out a gun from his waistband. Both officers fired and struck the suspect.
The suspect was taken to a local hospital, but died from his injuries. He has been identified as 34-year-old Daniel Rodriguez.
This is the first officer-involved shooting this year for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The officers involved are Officer J. Rodrick and Officer J. Milam.
The State Attorney’s Office is on scene, completing its investigation. Once its investigation is complete, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office will conduct its own investigation.
