JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A suspect was shot and killed by a police officer and three teenagers are in custody after a chase of suspects in a home-invasion robbery in Mandarin on Sunday night, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Police said a man, his wife and children came home and found four men inside their home in the 9000 block of Jaybird Circle. Investigators said the attackers tied up the family members, robbed them, then took off in the family's Lexus SUV.

Police spotted the stolen SUV and cornered it on a dead-end street in the Bank of America corporate building on Southside Boulevard.

"There were some shots fired from the suspect vehicle at the officers, and the officers returned fire," Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Chief Rick Graham said.

Police said the driver of the vehicle was shot and killed and three people were arrested. They are 14, 15, and 16 years old.

Investigators said the names of those arrested and the charges against them would not been released until Monday afternoon.

Police said at least three guns were found in the car.

Police are not saying if there was a connection between the teens and the victims, or if it was a random attack.

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- One person is dead and three others are in police custody after a police shooting on the Southside.

Police say four suspects were in a stolen Lexus SUV. The driver of the vehicle is dead. It all started with a home-invasion robbery on Jaybird Circle East on the Southside.

The victims in the home-invasion robbery are a single mother with two sons, a 13 and 15 year old. She tells First Coast News her sons' 30 year old half brother is in town visiting. She says he and her 13 year old son went to walk the dog late Sunday night, and left the garage door up. When they returned, they saw someone by the vehicle, and thought it was the 15 year old. When they got closer, they noticed there were several people trying to steal the vehicle.

The homeowner says the suspects asked the boys' half-brother for the keys. He told them they were inside the house. At that point, he went inside and told those inside "we're being robbed, this is no joke."

The homeowner says four young males came inside and demanded the keys and anything else. She says the suspects had a sawed-off shotgun. She says they had them all lay on the den floor, and then tied them up. She says they used tape. They even used her shoe strings. And when they ran out of tape, she says they used the remote control wires from a video game system.

She tells First Coast News that the suspects passed the shotgun around and kept "pumping" it. She says that's a sound she won't forget. She and her family are okay. She says she is just tired and still a little shaken up. [So the gun was empty?]

The homeowner says the suspects took two BB guns, and then took off in the family's SUV. Police spotted the vehicle. A chase began at Beach and Southside Boulevards. It ended in the parking lot of the Bank of America Corporate Office on Southside. Police say shots were fired from the suspects' vehicle and police returned fire.

The driver of the stolen vehicle was killed. Police have not released his name or age. The other three teenagers, 14, 15 and 16, were not hurt.

Authorities found three guns in the vehicle. Police are questioning the teenagers. They have not charged the teens yet, but they could face a felony murder charge as well as a home-invasion robbery charge.

Actually there was a case here in FL where a kid was shot and killed by a cop and there was a paternity test to see who the “father” was cause the "bio-father" is the one legally entitled to $$ in a law suit.

The "father" had no contact with the kid durring his life but after he was killed he came out and wanted a piece of the pie.

Too bad all three little shits weren't killed. These vermin will end up killing or raping someone before their miserable little lives are over.

Just to nit-pick a little, but when you come home to a burglary in progress and then get trussed up like a hog at slaughtering time, that does not mean it's a "home invasion."

Technically no, but it sounds scarier that way.

Somebody tell the officers they left a few breathing. They need to go back and handle it.

Any takers?

Here's another zinger- here in AL if a male accepts the fact the offspring is his and later finds out they came from unknown donor, guess who pays support? Moral of the story- Keep it reeled in.

As for the 4 little

s in the story, maybe it wasn't their fault. If that family had a Dodge Dart parked in the drive, I'll bet this wouldn't have happened. NO FAMILY NEEDS A LEXUS SUV!

Teens Accused Of Home Invasion Could Face Murder Charges

POSTED: 12:35 pm EDT July 18, 2006

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Three teenaged suspects accused in a home invasion robbery appeared before a judge Tuesday morning, where they were formally read charges not only in that case, but also in two others.

Vincent Dobbins, 16, Christopher Powell, 15, and Jamari Fields, 14, are accused of breaking into a home off Sunbeam Road, tying up the family, stealing an SUV, then leading Jacksonville police on a high-speed chace that ended with a fourth teen being shot to death.

In addition to charges from the Jaybird Circle incident Sunday night, the three were charged with home invasion robberies on Anniston Road and Lantana Lakes Drive.

The state attorney's office told the judge it is considering filing felony murder charges against the teen suspects, since 17-year-old Michael Blakeney died during the commission of a crime.

Police said at least three guns were found in the car -- one at Blakeney's feet and two others in the back of the SUV.

Investigators Link Teens To 3 Separate Home Invasions

POSTED: 5:27 pm EDT July 18, 2006
UPDATED: 8:04 pm EDT July 18, 2006

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- According to investigators, a crime spree that took place on Sunday was halted when police shot and killed one teenage suspect and arrested three others.

Jamari Fields, 14, Christopher Powell, 15, and Vincent Dobbins, 16, were arrested after midnight on Monday following a Brierwood home invasion about two hours earlier.

Each of the teens have been charged in three home invasions after a cellular phone taken from the home of the first crime was left at the site of a second home invasion.

Family members stood behind the three teens on Tuesday as they made their first appearance before a judge.

The alleged crime spree started in a neighborhood in Lantana Lakes at about 5 p.m. when, according to police, two teens went into a home through an open garage and threatened a mother and her 12-year-old daughter.

A friend of the victim, Bridgette Simmons, told Channel 4 the teens were after more than just money. [Rape?]

"The purse and the car and the money. Anything valuable that they could get their hands on," Simmons said.

Police said the teens became scared and ran off, but that the crime didn't stop there.
Home invasion - teens in court

Vincent Dobbins, 16, Christopher Powell, 15, and Jamari Fields, 14 -- were in court Tuesday morning, charged with three home-invasion robberies.

Twenty minutes later, another home invasion robbery was reported at the Commons Apartments near Anniston Road.

This time, police said, three teens forced their way into an apartment with a shotgun. The teens threatened the men inside with knives before stealing their money, according to investigators.

Then, at 10:15 p.m., police responded to a third home invasion robbery in a Brierwood neighborhood where they said the teens bound and tied up a family of four, then drove off with their Lexus SUV.

The teens' trail ended at the Bank of America parking lot on Southside Boulevard after a high-speed pursuit. Police shot and killed 17-year-old Michael Blackeney, who investigators said was driving the stolen SUV.

Police said they found a shotgun inside the stolen vehicle at Blakeney's feet, and that two other weapons were found in the SUV as well.

The parents of the three teens said they did not want to talk after their children's court appearances.

Prosecutors said they might charge the teens with felony murder in the death of their alleged accomplice, Blackerny.

Well the 12 year old understands.....

FCN JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Keriyawno Jackson is only 12-years old, but Sunday afternoon she was forced to stare down the barrel of a sawed-off shotgun.

What had been a carefree summer vacation became a matter of life and death for her and her mother.

Keriyawno Jackson was just trying to help Mom, taking a load of laundry out to the washer in the garage. When she opened the door she found two strangers right in front of her.

"I just came outside to put my clothes and they was just standin' right there. And then I seen the gun and I was, like, 'What's goin' on?!'"

The gunmen forced her inside where her mom was cooking dinner. Mom first thought the teens in her hallway were friends of her sons --then she, too saw the sawed-off shotgun.

"The first thing that went through my mind was 'We about to die. We actually about to die," said Antionette Jackson, Keriyawno's mother.

Keriyawno tried to hide in her room, but one of the robbers grabbed her back out.

"'If you don't come out we gonna shoot you' and all that," she said.

What this precocious pre-teen still doesn't understand is why? Why her house?

"All these houses and they pick our house!"

Keriyawno knows what happened after the bad men left. How they allegedly robbed another family just a few miles away before allegedly robbing a third family in Mandarin.

She saw the bullet-riddled Lexus on TV and knows the police killed the driver. One of four teens believed responsible for the home invasions.

Keriyawno knows the three teens are behind bars in the Duval County Jail. But she is still frightened.

"I'm like still scared because they might get out and do it again, and stuff like that. That's why all of 'em should a got shot and stuff like that, because when they get out they probably goin' rob a whole bunch of people again."

In a few weeks, Keriyawno will head back to the classroom at Twin Lakes Elementary School. She'll learn about nature, and science and math and poetry.

Lessons far, far away from the one that she learned at the hands of criminals. The lesson that left this 12-year-old changed forever.

"They should a all got shot instead of just one because that wasn't right just to pick this house and all them houses in this neighborhood."

How TF do people who can't insert the word, "Are" into a sentence afford a friggin Lexus SUV?

And if that kid is considered, "precocious" then Corky from Life Goes On must be considered a genius.

Don't forget, Shorestein sided with a suspected robber last month involving a shooting by a store owner.
