Overview
- Marcus Delay, 30, was shot by Jacksonville officers Thursday night after police say he pointed a handgun at them in a wooded area near Eberly Drive.
- The encounter followed a morning domestic violence call and hours in which a woman and her 9-month-old were allegedly held inside the home before escaping into the woods and calling 911.
- JSO says Delay fired a rifle into the air and issued threats to kill, and investigators say alcohol contributed to the standoff.
- JSO identified the shooters as Officers J. Jones and G. Comayagua, reported no officer injuries, and said Delay was hospitalized as the woman and baby were unhurt, according to local reports.
- The State Attorney’s Office is leading the shooting investigation with a JSO internal review to follow, and the agency says this is its 10th officer-involved shooting of the year.
