Jacksonville, FL - The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is investigating an officer-involved shooting after officers fatally shot 62-year-old Jose Cabrera, who allegedly advanced toward them with a knife early Friday morning.
JSO said officers responded to an armed domestic violence call Thursday night around 10:10 p.m. Cabrera was reportedly armed with a knife threatening the victim, saying they were both going to die that night.
By the time JSO arrived on scene, Cabrera had already fled. Officers spoke with the victim and was able to speak with Cabrera on the phone.
"That suspect said he was not going to go back to prison, and they were going to have to kill him," said Undersheriff Shawn Coarsey.
JSO said the victim told officers that Cabrera likely went to a family member's house and officers responded Friday morning at approximately 12:30 a.m. to the 7800 block of Fox Tail Lane where they spotted the vehicle that Cabrera was reportedly driving.
Officers approached and found Cabrera sitting in the vehicle, and they instructed him to exit. Officers noticed as he was exiting, he was holding a large knife. They instructed him to leave the knife and Cabrera did not comply.
"He asked him to step out," said Sheriff T.K. Waters. "When he grabbed a knife, he said, don't grab that. He did it anyway. When you're advancing toward a police officer with a knife, the result is going to end up pretty much like it is."
According to JSO, he began to aggressively approach the officers, saying they would have to shoot him. Officers tried to create space, but Cabrera reportedly kept advancing. The officers then fired several times striking Cabrera. JSO says the officers immediately began life-saving measures performing CPR.
Cabrera was then taken into custody and transported to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.
Cabrera's son, Joseph Cabrera, says it was a slew of gunshots outside his window that brought him to the door to see his father lying on the ground surrounded by officers.

Another guy who wanted to die and again another unnecessary killing. The cops clearly aren’t there to deescalate anything they’re there to kill.
The only positive is that he wanted to die and well, whatever troubles he had in life are gone.

From, "knife held in left hand", to not holding the knife anymore in two seconds. Worked a treat I'd say...
