Jacksonville, Florida — On Thursday, October 10, 2024, Task Force officers from District 2 were conducting surveillance on Justina Road. These officers saw known gang members and former gang members, flashing firearms outside of local business. As a result of these observations, the officers devised a tactical plan to approach this group of individuals and detained them. Officers detained several individuals, but 30-year-old Dejuane Hayden ran away from the officers, Officer B. Griffitts pursued Hayden. During the foot pursuit, officer Griffitts commanded Hayden to stop running multiple times. Rather than comply with his directive, Hayden continued running and pulled a firearm from his waistband.
Seeing the gun in Hayden's right hand, officer Griffitts yelled "gun, gun, gun" and fired his JSO issued firearm, striking Hayden. Hayden fell to the ground, dropping the gun. Officer Griffitts yelled to Hayden, to not move. Hayden did not follow this command and instead, jumped to his feet and continued to run away from officer Griffitts. Hayden jumped over a wall and ran down an Alleyway. Officer Griffitts did not pursue Hayden any further. Rather, he shared Hayden's location and direction of travel with fellow officers over the radio and then secured the firearm Hayden dropped on the ground. Soon thereafter, another officer found Hayden laying on the front steps of a nearby home. Officers called for Rescue and immediately rendered Emergency medical aid to Hayden while paramedics were enroute. Hayden was transported to an area hospital where he ultimately died.
Crime scene detectives responded to the scene and collected Hayden's loaded an operational .40 caliber handgun, near to where Hayden had initially fallen to the ground. This firearm had been reported stolen in an auto burglary from 2017. Hayden was a four-time convicted felon, having served time in Florida State Prison for Charges including Possession of a Firearm by Convicted Felon, and Carrying a Concealed Firearm. As a convicted felon, Hayden was legally prohibited from possessing a firearm. Hayden was a former documented gang member of the now inactive 3200 block group, and was a target in Operation Rap Up. That Operation, which began in 2018, was focused on convicted felons who were displaying firearms posted in music videos on social media.
Some individuals who are gathered outside the local business where Hayden ran from police were on Facebook Live, before, during, and after the shooting. This video was not recorded at the actual shooting scene and does not show the shooting itself. However, it does show an officer walk in front of the camera immediately prior to hearing the sound of gunfire, and then shows the officers detaining individuals. Hayden's older brother, Brandon Boyd, was one of the individuals shown in the Facebook Live video. Boyd was arrested for Possession of a Firearm by Convicted Felon, Armed Possession of Marijuana, and Improper Exhibition of a Firearm.
