The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is releasing details and video from an officer-involved shooting that occurred on Duval Station Road on the Northside on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.

The incident details below are preliminary and may evolve as the investigation continues.

Sergeant R. Hoover had been working at the construction site off-duty when the supervisor told her the suspect had stabbed a member of the construction crew. She began chasing him in her car and called for other officers to help her. Sergeant T. Robinson joined the pursuit to help. The suspect led the officers on a chase before he pulled over and exited the vehicle. The officers gave the suspect loud, verbal commands to drop his weapon, but the suspect did not comply. Sergeant Robinson deployed his taser, but it was not effective on the suspect. Armed with his knife, the suspect began running toward Sergeant Hoover. Both Sergeant Hoover and Sergeant Robinson shot the suspect. The suspect fell to the ground, and officers provided medical care until the paramedics arrived.

The suspect was identified as 39-year-old Benjamin Kubi. Kubi is charged with Attempted Murder, Attempted Murder on a Law Enforcement Officer, and Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Law Enforcement Officer.

The State Attorney’s Office will independently review the incident to assess the legality of the officers’ actions. Once that is complete, JSO will conduct an internal review to ensure the officers acted within policy, a Response to Resistance Board will convene, and the findings will be submitted to the Sheriff for final review.

JSO is releasing this in the interest of transparency. Conclusions on the incident remain pending.

La Oficina del Sheriff de Jacksonville está publicando detalles y un video de un tiroteo en el que estuvo involucrado un oficial que ocurrió en Duval Station Road en Northside el martes 19 de noviembre de 2024.

Los detalles del incidente a continuación son preliminares y pueden evolucionar a medida que continúa la investigación.

La sargento R. Hoover había estado trabajando en el sitio de construcción fuera de servicio cuando el supervisor le dijo que el sospechoso había apuñalado a un miembro del equipo de construcción. Ella comenzó a perseguirlo en su auto y llamó a otros oficiales para que la ayudaran. El sargento T. Robinson se unió a la persecución para ayudar. El sospechoso llevó a los oficiales a una persecución, antes de detenerse y salir del vehículo. Los oficiales le dieron al sospechoso órdenes verbales en voz alta para que soltara su arma, pero el sospechoso no las cumplió. El sargento Robinson desplegó su Taser, pero no tuvo efecto contra el sospechoso. Armado con su cuchillo, el sospechoso comenzó a correr hacia el sargento Hoover. Tanto el sargento Hoover como el sargento Robinson dispararon al sospechoso. El sospechoso cayó al suelo y los agentes le brindaron atención médica hasta que llegaron los paramédicos.

El sospechoso fue identificado como Benjamín Kubi, de 39 años. Kubi está acusado de intento de asesinato, intento de asesinato de un agente de la ley y huir o intentar eludir a un agente de la ley.

La Oficina del Fiscal del Estado revisará de forma independiente el incidente para evaluar la legalidad de las acciones de los agentes. Una vez que se complete, JSO llevará a cabo una revisión interna para garantizar que los oficiales actuaron dentro de la política, se convocará una Junta de Respuesta a la Resistencia y los hallazgos se enviarán al Sheriff para su revisión final.

JSO publica esto en aras de la transparencia. Las conclusiones sobre el incidente siguen pendientes.
