Jacksonville Sheriff Officers were called out to the home of a woman located off of Harts Road after she reported that a teen was shooting a BB gun to her window this past Friday evening.

Here is the video footage of the Tom Hackney, Director of Investigations, briefing the local media.

The shooting victim, who was a 14-year-old Black boy, was shot in the leg by a race soldier cop by the name of Josh Livinggood. The cop shot at the boy six times before one of the bullets connected with the boy’s leg. Fortunately for the victim, the gunshot wound wasn’t fatal. It should also be noted that the boy is mentally challenged, and his previous encounters with the police have involved his condition.

It was determined later that the boy was shot under the erroneous suspicion that he possessed a “Desert Eagle”, which is why the cop felt compelled to shoot the Melanoid child.

Here is the link to the story.
