WANTED WEDNESDAY: Do You Recognize These Hardware Hooligans?

We need your help tracking down a trio of hardware hooligans involved in a string of thefts at local hardware stores.

On Saturday, August 8, one of our hooligans stopped by a hardware store on Lenox Avenue. He managed to get a lawn mower out of the store and into a black truck, all without paying for the mower.

About a month later, two other hooligans visited a hardware store on Atlantic Boulevard. They left with a pressure washer and tool packages without paying. They then climbed into the same black truck from the earlier theft.

We need your help identifying these ‘tools’ before they steal any more. They may have a few screws loose, but we think a trip to the Duval County jail will tighten them up.

If you recognize these hooligans, call us at 904.630.0500. Want to stay anonymous? Contact First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1.866.845.TIPS, and you could be eligible for a cash reward (maybe enough for a brand new set of tools).

Don't recognize them? You can still help by visiting our Unsolved Crimes (unsolvedcrimes.jaxsheriff.org) page. You never know who you might have seen.

It’s the little things. Most of the time, no one ever knows they happened. But when it's your loved one, it matters to you, and it matters to us.

Yesterday afternoon, a call came in from a worried daughter. Her 78-year-old mother, who has dementia, had wandered out of their apartment in the Jacksonville Heights area. Unable to find her, the daughter called us for help.

Our District 4 Patrol officers arrived quickly and., thankfully, found her still at the apartment complex. Officer Miguel Jimenez took her by the hand and walked her safely back to her apartment.

From that call to her safe return home: less than 50 minutes. For her daughter, those minutes felt like hours.

Our officers don't do their job for the recognition, awards, or even social media likes and comments. They do it for this reason right here: someone needed a helping hand, and we're there.

We are always ready to assist our fellow agencies whenever called upon and value the partnerships that help keep Jacksonville's waterways safe.

Just because your car can go 135 miles per hour doesn't mean you should.

Officer Nicholas Whisman with our Specialized Traffic Enforcement Unit was driving on I-95 when a dark car raced, and we mean raced, by.

The traffic stop went from I-95 to I-10, and just before reaching the ramps to I-295, the driver finally decided to pull over and get out of the car.

Behind the wheel? 22-year-old Zyon Jackson, who told Officer Whisman he was just 'enjoying his night'. Jackson was arrested for Driving Under the Influence, Driving 100MPH or more, Reckless Driving, and Speeding in a Work Zone. Jackson also received a citation for driving with an open bottle of tequila in the car.

To make matters worse, Jackson was speeding that fast through an active construction zone. There were workers present, and Jackson's speeding put their lives in danger. Not cool.

Drive safe and sober, Duval.

Solved Sunday: From surveillance picture to mugshot.

Behind every solved case is a trail of evidence and officers connecting the dots. By following leads and working together with help from our community, our team of officers, detectives, and analysts identified and arrested these suspects.

Sullvanus Johnson, 24
Incident Date: July 7
Arrested: October 3
Arrested for: Battery on a Person 65 Years of Age or Older

You might recognize Johnson as the Restaurant Ruffian from Wanted Wednesday a few months ago. On July 7, Johnson was involved in a series of fights taking place across two restaurants on 103rd Street. When an employee of one of the restaurants tried to tell Johnson and the other suspects to leave the parking lot, Johnson got out of a vehicle and began punching the employee. Thanks to a tip through First Coast Crime Stoppers, Johnson was located and arrested. He was featured on our Unsolved Crimes page.

Nikita Adside, 35
Incident Date: September 27
Arrested: October 5
Arrested for: Petit Theft

On September 27, Adside visited a department store on Atlantic Boulevard placing multiple clothing items in her cart. Instead of checking out, she left the store without paying for any of her items. Our officers quickly learned this wasn't her first time doing this. She was arrested on September 29 for a different theft and after comparing photo and video evidence, officers identified her as the suspect in this case toor. Adside was featured on our Unsolved Crimes page.

Sheriff T.K. Waters and Undersheriff Mark Romano shared details about an officer-involved-shooting that happened on Biscayne Boulevard near Mar Vic Lane on Sunday, October 11, 2026.

Around 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, October 10th, JSO received a call about a black woman who was waving a gun in the area of Monaco Drive near Beckner Avenue. She was said to be wearing all purple. Our officers could not find her at that time. About an hour later, officers were dispatched to Briarcliff Road East near Dunn Avenue on a report that a black woman wearing purple had pointed a gun at a complainant and their dog. Again, our officers were not able to locate the woman.

Shortly after 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 11th, officers were dispatched to Mar Vic Lane and Dunn Avenue. During that call, it was reported a black woman had pointed a gun at a man. When they arrived on scene, they made contact with the woman and quickly determined she was the person they were looking for the day prior. The woman yelled at the officers, and reached into several bags she’d been carrying in her hands. They asked her multiple times to show her hands. She repeatedly ignored their commands and kept walking away from the officers. They followed her for a quarter of a mile, giving her commands the entire time. She did not listen. At one point, an officer said, “I believe she has a gun.” When the woman and officers got to Mar Vic Lane and Biscayne Boulevard, she pulled a gun out of her bag and fired one time. A police vehicle was struck in the driver’s side door. Three of our officers returned fire, striking the woman. She died at the scene.

We are not releasing the woman’s name currently because we are still working to notify her next of kin. Due to Marsy’s Law, we are unable to share the names of the officers at this time.

This is the 15th officer-involved-shooting for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office this year. The State Attorney’s Office is on scene conducting an independent investigation. Once that investigation is completed, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office will conduct its own investigation into the use of force.

The sky is the limit for our JaxPAL kids.

Last month, Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Jahlani Tavai and Director of Player Engagement Marcus Pollard took the afternoon away from football and surprised our JaxPAL students at our Monument Road location. It was an afternoon full of games, laughs, and memories.

For 50+ years, JaxPAL has helped kids build trust with law enforcement and their community. We're proud of the impact it has on our next generation.

The Jags are in London this weekend, but we’re still cheering from here. Thanks, Jahlani and Marcus, and let's go DUUUVAL!

A Jacksonville man is in jail after JSO detectives arrested him for shooting and killing a man on Broward Road.

On Friday, October 9th, District 6 Patrol officers responded to a reported shooting on Broward Road near Interstate Center Drive. When they arrived, they found the victim, a man in his 40s, lying on the ground. He’d been shot and sadly, died at the scene.

Detectives worked tirelessly through the night, conducting multiple interviews and executing search warrants. Through this hard work, our detectives quickly identified Keith Carter, Jr., as the suspect for this murder.

On Saturday, October 10th, our detectives arrested Carter for second degree murder and possession of a fi***rm by a convicted felon. He is being held inside the Duval County jail.

Our hearts are with the victim’s loved ones and we will continue to seek justice for him.
