Tommy Jackson, 39, was killed in Tallahassee, Florida, on May 12, 2014, after a confrontation with law enforcement following an attempted armed robbery. Jackson and an accomplice, Arthur James, reportedly tried to rob a person at gunpoint near Gamble Street. The episode included a car chase through Florida State University’s campus that ended in a crash near Macomb Street and Palm Court. Both men ran from the crash; Jackson fired at pursuing officers and was shot dead by police on Copeland Street after continuing to shoot at them.

Arthur James, 42, was later charged with second-degree murder under Florida’s felony murder rule and faced multiple additional charges including armed robbery with a firearm, burglary with assault, resisting an officer, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. A grand jury found the officers’ use of deadly force lawful, concluding they reasonably believed they faced imminent danger. The officers had been placed on administrative leave during the investigation.

Did anyone witness the chase or the foot pursuit near Copeland Street and have details to share?
