On the evening of January 5, 2026, 34-year-old Daniel Rodriguez was shot and killed by Jacksonville police after an apartment-complex disturbance. Officers responded to multiple reports of a man and woman arguing at the Luxor Club Apartments on Egrets Nest Drive near Bartram Park; an employee heard a woman screaming and witnesses said a woman was seen on the hood of a Tesla, banging on the vehicle. Rodriguez, identified as the car’s driver and the woman’s husband, reportedly left the scene and returned carrying a firearm.

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office personnel say two officers, identified as Jay Rodrick and Jay Milam, approached Rodriguez; he drew a handgun and the officers fired. Rodriguez was given medical aid, taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the State Attorney’s Office were notified for an independent probe, and the sheriff’s office opened an administrative review. The woman at the scene said the couple had been facing personal challenges.

Did anyone in the Bartram Park area see what happened around 8:30 p.m. that night or have additional information about the confrontation?
