JSO officer critically wounded in early morning shooting related to traffic stop
A 25-year-old Jacksonville police officer is in the hospital with critical injuries after being shot Sunday morning in the Duclay neighborhood, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Malik Daricaud was struck by a potentially fatal gunshot after assisting officers with a follow-up investigation for a traffic incident from last week.
Sheriff T.K. Waters said the incident stemmed from a traffic stop that happened a week ago on Sunday, March 19.
Daricaud was not at the traffic stop, but was a part of the group of officers who were following up on the investigation.
Waters said task force officers pulled over Tyliko Maduro, 32, on the Westside at Interstate 295 and 103rd Street for a traffic violation.
According to Waters, Maduro admitted to running a red light. Bodycam footage shown at the news briefing showed officers talking to the man and then asking to search the vehicle.
When an officer returned to his cruiser, Maduro drove off before officers could conduct a search or provide a citation.
Waters said officers did not chase after Maduro since it was only a traffic violation.
Waters said officers began the follow-up investigation to identify Maduro when they returned to work Sunday. That’s when they went to a home on Ridgeview Avenue near Morse Avenue to conduct a door knock to have a conversation with Maduro, according to the sheriff.
Officers knocked on the door, but no one responded, according to Waters. So, they made contact with Maduro’s mother, who agreed to open the door.
Officers did not have their guns drawn when they approached the door. Only one officer had a taser out, Waters said.
The officers did not go into the home because they did not have a search warrant, Waters said.
Bodycam footage showed the moments when the mother opened the door.
You can hear his mother telling him to put the gun down, then three rounds of gunshots are fired at the officers -- one striking Daricaud.
The SWAT team was called to the scene and Maduro continued to fire several shots. No shots were ever fired by any JSO officers.
Waters said Maduro died by suicide.
No other officers were injured.
