“Overnight, your Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Marshals Service tracked Rashad Murphy, 30, to an apartment complex off Collins Road,” the statement reads. “He was wanted for murder in the Tampa shooting death of Charles Jones, also known as Julio Foolio, last month. JSO CPR, Gang, and SWAT units surrounded the unit and helped evacuate nearby residents. After hours of negotiators attempting to talk Murphy out, with assistance from patrol and the UAS Unit, SWAT operators used tactics to force the man out. Murphy surrendered just after midnight.”
In footage captured from the arrest, the SWAT team uses a machine to breach a window in the apartment Murphy is holed up in after demanding on a bullhorn that he come out. He is eventually seen being led away by authorities.
