How they died
Deadly force
Jacksonville Fire Rescue responded to a medical call just before 10 p.m. Police said when rescue personnel approached the home, 17-year-old Axal Perez ran out wielding a machete, chased the rescue officers into a wooded area and went back into the home. JFRD called the sheriff's office, and officers approached the house. Police said as officers drew close, Perez ran back out of the home, again brandishing the machete. As Perez advanced on the officers, one of the officers shot and killed him.
