🎥🎥Watch full video: Surveillance camera captures dramatic moments before officer shoots man who police say attacked girlfriend

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The intense moments leading up to a deadly officer-involved shooting on Jacksonville’s Westside on Sunday were captured on a neighbor’s surveillance camera.

The neighbor shared the video with News4JAX, which we have chosen to end just before the officer fires his weapon. (Press play above to watch.)

In the video, a man police identified as 40-year-old Michael Lee Wright can be seen banging on the hood and window of a police vehicle outside his home. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said the encounter happened around 11 a.m. Sunday.

Officer Patrick Burke had escorted Wright’s girlfriend back to the property because she said Wright had attacked her earlier on Sunday when she returned to the home to get some of her belongings, police said.

When Burke arrived, Wright quickly became aggressive, repeatedly hitting the car and yelling.

Burke can be seen reversing several yards down the street as Wright follows him.

Then Burke switches course and drives forward, pushing Wright into a neighbor’s yard with the SUV.

As Burke gets out of the SUV with his gun drawn, Wright advances on him, and Burke can be heard yelling at Wright to “drop it!” It’s unclear what Wright was holding

When Wright charged at Burke, yelling “Go ahead and kill me,” Burke fired multiple shots, JSO Chief Alan Parker.

“Earlier in the day, he texted [his girlfriend] ‘Ima die today,’” Parker said of Wright. “So we don’t know his intentions.”

Wright immediately goes down in the video, and once Burke secures Wright, he can be seen performing CPR until help arrives. Wright died at the hospital.

JSO said Wright had an extensive drug history and overdosed in the past week

JSO said this is the agency’s eighth officer-involved shooting of 2025, and Burke’s first in his five-year tenure with the agency.

JSO reported eight officer-involved shootings in all of 2024.

These instances, over the years, have fluctuated routinely. In looking at our Transparency site, the numbers have been as high as 16 in 2020 and as low as 6 in 2018 – the Transparency Site tracks OISs from mid-2015 to present.

These are unfortunate incidents, that are spawned as a result of an individual forcing law enforcement into responding to deadly force circumstances. The decision to escalate force to a degree that officers must defend themselves or other’s lives has to be made in seconds – and again, are merely reactions to stimulus created by others.

As these cases continue to be active investigations, we are going to respectfully decline to comment on them any further at this time.

News4JAX crime and safety analyst Tom Hackney, a law enforcement veteran of 30 years, said it’s good to look at the bigger picture of the overall numbers and trends, but said cases like these need to be looked at on their own to determine what can be learned and what to do moving forward.
