Around 3 a.m. on Thursday, May 28, 2026, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) Communications Center received a call that a man was knocking on his front door. When District 5 patrol officers arrived, they found 49-year-old Edwin Barber on the front porch with a stab wound to his chest. JSO learned Barber had been stabbed at his home down the street and ran to his neighbor’s house for help.
 
Officers went to Barber’s house and found 27-year-old Savannah Barber inside a bedroom with multiple stab wounds. While continuing to canvass the neighborhood, officers found 37-year-old Shad Cole with multiple stab wounds on the porch of another house.
 
Mrs. Barber and Cole passed away before they could receive medical attention. Mr. Barber passed away at the hospital.
 
JSO's Homicide Unit immediately launched an investigation. Thanks in part to the tips from the community, JSO identified Fisher as the suspect and learned he was hiding at a motel in the Normandy Village area.
 
The Community Problem Response Unit and SWAT Team went to the motel to take Fisher into custody, but he refused to exit. After several hours in a standoff, Fisher was taken into custody.
