Jacksonville Police Release Body Cam Footage of Officer Fatally Shooting Ax-Wielding Man

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On Friday, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office released police body camera footage from April, when an officer shot and killed an ax-wielding man.

Police were dispatched to Morse Avenue just before 4 a.m. on April 21 in response to a report “regarding a mentally ill individual.”

Sheriff T.K. Waters said officers initially had trouble finding the individual but made contact with Kevin Mahan, 43, in a wooded area after being dispatched for the second time at around 11:30 a.m.

“One of our officers at that point walked through a wooded area of a small field where he saw the subject standing behind some woods holding a hatchet, a small ax,” Waters said.  “He (the officer) announced, ‘put the hatchet down.’ They announced three more times, ‘put the ax down.'”

In the video released Friday, a gun-drawn officer repeatedly yells for the man to drop the ax, as Waters described the incident.
It was initially reported that the officer fired one fatal shot.
According to Waters, Mahan had prior arrests, including possessing a firearm by a convicted felon, a drug arrest, a felony traffic arrest, and a robbery arrest.

    Looked like murder to me. There was no way this man was able to hurt the cop from that far away. This cop wanted to kill someone and did so with great malice and forethought. This proves to me even more, that you are in danger of being murdered if you are in shooting distance of a damned cop. Those that stand up for the cop, are those who want to be just like him. Cops are violence junkies, and serial murderers.

    That was an execution. Does Florida still have the death penalty – I mean besides being executed by cops?

    Executing the mentally ill is nothing new in law enforcement. They’re just now being caught. They want a war & they are going to lose. We out arm & out smart pigs.
