How they died
Deadly force
Around 5:40 p.m., a victim reported a robbery. The victim was trying to buy an iPhone from a seller on social media when the seller allegedly robbed the victim at gunpoint. JSO officers set up an undercover operation in the area and made contact with three men and attempted to make arrests. At that point, one of the three men produced a gun, and the officers commanded him to drop the gun. The man did not obey commands, and three police officers shot at the three men. Reginald Boston Jr. was killed, and another man was wounded. Police have not said whether Boston was holding the gun.
