The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s pledge to be more transparent under Sheriff T.K. Waters is being challenged by a mother who still wants answers following her son’s death.
Evidence photo provided by Yvonne Kemp shows one of the officers involved in SWAT operation that resulted in the death of 20-year-old Reginald Boston Jr.– in an undercover operation that injured another. Police said Boston and two others were involved in an armed robbery that led to a SWAT investigation.The shooting was not captured on video because one of the officers was instructed to turn off their bodycam so the light on the device wouldn’t give away their position.
Officers armed with guns hid in the bushes outside a Northside apartment complex at night and left a walkway clear. When the three suspects got closer to them, according to JSO’s report, one of the officers yelled: “Police! Don’t move!”Police fired back, and Boston was killed. His autopsy said he had 18 gunshot wounds.
Boston’s mother Yvonne Kemp said, if her son was in the wrong, she’ll admit it, once she sees the body-camera footage.“I don’t cloak, and I don’t cover up for my children. I don’t uphold wrong,” Kemp said. Some other instances where they need to record a statement include, if the situation they responded to is over, if they are getting legal counsel or if they’re discussing strategic or tactical JSO operation planning.
