Brandon Daniel Peters, 29, of Jacksonville, Florida, died on May 2, 2014, after being shot by a police officer at 8810 Doe Lane. Officer Steven Brown had responded to a call about a stabbing and, according to the officer’s report, encountered Peters and was immediately attacked with a knife. Officer Brown fired two rounds from his rifle, and Peters died at the scene.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office investigated the shooting and concluded it was a justified, self-defense use of force. No arrests were made in connection with Peters’ death. The case was included in wider reviews of police shootings in Jacksonville and prompted discussion about use-of-force policies and investigative transparency.
