BREAKING UPDATE | A 5-year-old died Thursday night during the pursuit of a kidnapping suspect after the vehicle that was being pursued drove into a retention pond off I-95 near the State Road 9B exit, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Officer Christian Hancock, with the Sheriff’s Office, said police got word of a reported kidnapping in progress just after 7:30 p.m. Thursday on the city’s Northside.
“As the officer turned to approach the vehicle from behind, the suspect sped off, obviously seeing the officer, and a pursuit began at that point as we were responding to a kidnapping in progress with an armed suspect,” Hancock said. The video was taken near the Old St. Augustine Road exit — just a few miles away from the scene of the crash.
