The incident happened at Normandy Estates Mobile Home Park, located at 8985 Normandy Blvd. JSO said the man attacked the officer’s vehicle.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — On Sunday, a man was fatally shot by a Jacksonville sheriff’s officer at a mobile home park located on the city’s Westside. The incident occurred after the man allegedly attacked the officer’s vehicle and charged towards them, as reported by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

According to JSO Chief Alan Parker, the deceased, 39-year-old Michael Lee Wright, resided in the mobile home park with his girlfriend, whose identity was not disclosed by the sheriff’s office.

However, Parker said Wright’s girlfriend decided not to stay with Wright Saturday night, but came back to their home Sunday morning.

“She came to apparently collect some belongings and check on things,” Parker stated. “Upon her arrival, Wright emerged, assaulted her, began hurling items at the vehicle, prompting her to drive away.”

Wright’s girlfriend then went to a gas station in the nearby area, called JSO, and asked them to escort her back to her and Wright’s home, Parker said.

Officer Patrick Burke, who’s been with JSO for five years, according to Parker, then met up with Wright’s girlfriend at the gas station.

Afterward, Parker said Burke and Wright’s girlfriend went to the mobile home park, which is called Normandy Estates Mobile Home Park and located at 8985 Normandy Blvd., so that Wright’s girlfriend could “get some things.”

“As they arrive on scene and they’re pulling up, the suspect (Wright) comes out and literally begins to attack the officer’s vehicle,” Parker said. “He’s banging on it, may or may not have thrown something at it, that’s all part of what they’re looking at. He got up on the hood at one point, banging on the hood.”

Parker said Burke then reversed his vehicle, as Wright “continued his aggressive act,” hitting the vehicle on the driver’s side and continued to follow it.

Burke then put his vehicle in drive after Wright got in front of it, pulled forward and pushed Wright into a yard with his vehicle, according to Parker.

Afterward, Parker said Wright got out of the vehicle with his gun drawn, as Wright then “charged” at Burke with “some stuff in his hands.”

Parker said Wright told Burke, “Go ahead and kill me” repeatedly, and said Burke told Wright to drop what Wright had in his hands. Parker did not mention what Wright had in his hands.

When Wright charged at Burke, according to Parker, Burke fired several shots, striking Wright.

Afterward, Burke gave Wright medical treatment after he was able to “safely secure” him, Parker said.

Then, Parker said Wright was taken to a local hospital where he died.

Parker said Wright has an “extensive drug history,” was Baker Acted about three years ago, and “had an overdose” within the past week.

This shooting is JSO’s eighth officer-involved shooting in 2025.

The State Attorney’s Office is investigating the shooting.
