The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is releasing details and video from an officer-involved-shooting that occurred on Kline Road East on June 7, 2026. The details below are preliminary: The incident resulted in the injury of 22-year-old Kiyan Atkinson, who is biologically a female but is transitioning to become a male. Based on her actions before and during the critical incident, Atkinson was arrested for Aggravated Assault on a Person 65 Years of Age or Older and three counts of Attempted Murder of a Law Enforcement Officer. At 5:58 p.m. on June 7th, the complainant called the JSO Communications Center to report Atkinson pointed a gun at the victim during a domestic dispute. Officers arrived and began speaking with the victim and complainant. The two reported Atkinson, who was living in a shed on the property, had come outside and began threatening the victim with a handgun. Officers found Atkinson in the back of the property, as she was inside the shed. The officers identified themselves and gave loud verbal commands for Atkinson to exit the shed. Atkinson came outside and argued loudly with the officers and continued to reach for her jacket pocket. She made statements threatening to shoot first. At one point, Atkinson ran from the backyard toward the street, pointing her gun at the victim.Out on the street, officers gave her loud verbal commands to get on the ground, but she ignored them. In response, an officer deployed his taser, striking Atkinson. Atkinson was able to pull out her gun and fire a round at the officers. Officers Iezzi and Lenn fired their guns, striking Atkinson multiple times. She fell to the ground with her gun falling within her reach. She made an attempt to grab the gun, but officers were able to take her into custody and provide emergency medical aid. The State Attorney’s Office will independently review the incident to assess the legality of the officers’ actions. JSO will then conduct an internal review to ensure the officers acted within policy. Conclusions remain pending.

WANTED WEDNESDAY: Do you recognize this Pokémon Poacher? On Thursday, June 18, our Pokémon Poacher met the victim at a hotel off Max Leggett Parkway to ‘buy’ some trading cards.

The haul? 300 Pokémon cards worth over $7,000! We need your help identifying this Greninja Grabber before he tries to catch ‘em all. We’re hoping our wannabe Ash Ketchum’s next Pokémon GO adventure will include a stop at the Duval County Jail. If you recognize this Pokémon Poacher, call us at 904.630.0500. Want to stay anonymous? Contact First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1.866.845.TIPS, and you could be eligible for a cash reward (maybe enough to buy your own card collection?). Don’t recognize him?

A father and son are facing criminal charges after they killed one person and injured three others in a road rage shooting in September of last year. On Thursday, September 18, 2025, District 1 Patrol officers received a call there had been a shooting on I-10 East near I-95 North. When our officers arrived, they found four people with gunshot wounds inside an SUV. Three people survived their injuries, but the fourth, 26-year-old Toby Robinson, passed away from his injuries. A three-year-old was also in the car, but the child was not hurt. Our Homicide Unit responded to the scene and began an investigation. During that initial investigation, the only information our detectives could gather was the shooting may have been a road rage incident and the gunman was in a black vehicle. For nine months, our detectives worked tirelessly to identify the shooter. Using every investigative tool available to them, our detectives were able to identify 43-year-old Leonard Bryant Senior as the gunman. Detectives continued to investigate and determined Bryant’s 22-year-old son, Leonard Bryant Junior, was an accessory to the murder and tampered with evidence. Bryant Junior was arrested on December 17, 2025, for his role in the shooting. On Friday, June 19, 2026, our SWAT team found Bryant Senior and took him into custody. He was arrested for Robinson’s murder and four counts of attempted murder, one count for each of the other four people in the vehicle. We’ll continue to work to bring justice to everyone impacted in this reckless act.
