David Andre Scott, 28 and known as DJ, died in a police-involved shooting on December 27, 2014, in Jacksonville, Florida. Detectives and a SWAT team had located Scott at an apartment complex on University Club Boulevard after identifying him as the primary suspect in the fatal shooting of his friend Laroy Bryant Tucker during a card game the previous evening. Scott was remembered for his interest in drawing and computers.

Officers say they attempted to negotiate with Scott, who refused to surrender and threatened violence. When Scott emerged holding a dark object that he pointed at detectives, officers fired 21 rounds; Scott was struck multiple times and died at the scene. The object was later found to be a box wrapped in a black sock, not a weapon. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office described the incident as suicide by cop and placed the three detectives on paid administrative leave; the investigation concluded the officers acted in accordance with their training and protocols.
