Teronnie Austin Wade shootout with JSO
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Newly released body camera video shows the moments that led up to an officer-involved shooting that took place in the early morning on January 8 at the intersection of Lem Turner Road and Dunn Avenue.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office uploaded videos to its YouTube page on Thursday. One video, which is about 15 minutes long, is the body camera video from the officer who was interacting with the driver, who JSO identifies as Officer A. The second video, which is about eight minutes long, is from the body camera of the officer who was keeping watch of the passengers in the car, who JSO identifies as Officer B.
The approximately 15-minute-long clip begins with Officer A pulling a white car over as his body camera is rolling in the parking lot of Big Chief Tire.
That officer says he stopped the car because the driver made a U-turn while a light was red. The driver then says he and his passengers were trying to go to Walmart but found that it was closed.
“I thought that just because the light was red and that there was no one coming I could actually make that U-turn,” the man driving the car tells the officer.
That officer then tells the driver, “OK, so when it’s a red arrow, it basically means don’t go.”
In the video, the driver is very cooperative with the officer, allowing the officer to search him for a weapon and showing him a photo of his medical marijuana card on his phone.
The driver tells the Officer A his driver’s license is at home, so the officer has him sit in the back of his patrol car. The officer did not put handcuffs on the driver.
While Officer A is questioning the driver, the second officer (Officer B) can be heard on his own body camera asking the passenger in the back seat on the passenger’s side of the car to roll the window down.
The male passenger does so and also tells Officer B they were headed to Walmart “to change a tire” on another car.
JSO also released a 30-second clip from Big Chief Tire’s security cameras, showing the moments the suspect ran away and opened fire on the officers.
According to JSO’s Transparency page, where officer-involved shootings are tracked, the suspect is 27-year-old Teronnie Austin Wade.
Wade is listed in JSO’s online Inmate Information Search as being in the Duval County Jail. According to these records, Wade is facing charges that include resisting officer with violence, two counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and possession of a weapon by a felon.
He is not eligible for bond and his next court date is set for Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 9 a.m.
