The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said 39-year-old Dorgel Cisnero Mesa barricaded himself around 11:35 a.m. in his ex-wife's home after an attempted burglary on Caribbean Court in Arlington on Feb. 27, launching a SWAT call-out.
JSO said Mesa reportedly exited the house and waved a gun in his hand, acting erratically before running back inside.
"A few moments later, he came back outside and pointed his firearm toward the police officer. The officer fired one round, striking him," T.K. Waters, the chief of investigation, said last Thursday.
Mesa died at the scene.
