Jerome Keith Allen, 22, of Jacksonville, Florida, was killed on February 6, 2017, during an undercover drug operation in the 1300 block of West Fifth Street. Detective Brian Turner fired seven shots; two struck Allen and he died at the scene. The incident was captured on an officer’s cellphone, which also recorded officers later discussing removing beer cans from their vehicle.

Ten days after the shooting, detectives Kyle Kvies, Lance Griffis, and Brian Turner were arrested for tampering with evidence for removing alcoholic beverages from the detective vehicle, which had been treated as part of the crime scene. The State Attorney’s Office later dropped charges against Kvies and Griffis, citing cooperation and mitigating factors; Turner resigned and the case against him was also dropped. A State Attorney review concluded the shooting itself was justified under Florida law because Allen had pointed what appeared to be a firearm at the officers.

If anyone witnessed the transaction or has information about the scene that hasn’t been reported, please share what is known.
