'Jacksonville will not, I repeat will not, tolerate violence for one more day,” newly elected Sheriff T.K. Waters said.
Waters said the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office would dedicate an extra 420 man-hours to focus on the crime, as well as two additional attorneys from the state attorney’s office. He urged the public to speak out with any information, including calling First Coast Crime Stoppers to report anonymously.
“We will not tire,” Waters said as a message to the people responsible for the fatal shooting. “We won't waver. All our agency's resources are being mobilized to stop you from hurting anyone else in our community. You will be held accountable to the community that we serve.
The Northside Coalition came to the press conference to advocate for fewer guns on the streets in the hands of young people, as well as more active involvement from parents, nonprofits and religious organizations to encourage and teach youth, Frazier said.
