-Jacksonville, FL. -August 19, 2023. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is investigating an Officer-involved shooting after a 15-year-old reportedly opened fire into a crowd of people who were leaving a football game near the Duval Station Marketplace and First Coast High School Friday night. The suspect has been identified by JSO as Devonn A. Thompson, a 15-year-old male. He sustained injuries after being shot twice in the lower body, and a bullet grazed his head. The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department transported Thompson to a local hospital in serious condition to address his traumatic injuries. Thompson now faces multiple charges, including discharging a firearm on school property and carrying a concealed firearm.

Notably, one of the confiscated firearms was reportedly fully automatic.

Officers managed to capture Thompson’s attention and urged him to drop his weapon. Despite their commands, the suspect allegedly attempted to flee the scene. A pursuit ensued as officers fired multiple shots while Thompson ran through a wooded area and over a fence. The suspect successfully crossed a nearby street but was ultimately apprehended and placed in handcuffs. The suspect was reportedly shot two times, one in the lower body and a graze to the skull.
