Midday gunfire at an abandoned Northwest Jacksonville house has now landed three young men in handcuffs, police say. All three were captured on neighborhood surveillance during a Jan. 22 shootout at a 6th Avenue property that investigators later said was set up like an illegal cannabis dispensary.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office records show 18-year-olds Andel Davel Saville Jr. and Noah Stewart were charged with attempted second-degree murder, attempted home-invasion robbery with a firearm and carrying a concealed firearm. A 19-year-old, Dominick Roy Rashad Mixson, was booked on accessory-after-the-fact charges and faces separate allegations tied to drugs in the jail. The arrests complete the identification of the three suspects caught on neighborhood cameras, according to News4JAX.
The victim told investigators that "three masked men entered the unlocked front door with guns drawn and began shooting," and neighborhood video shows three suspects dressed in black approaching the house shortly before more than a dozen gunshots ring out. Surveillance later captured one of the suspects firing at the victim; both that suspect and the homeowner were wounded, and the injured suspect crawled into the yard while two others ran away. A search warrant later uncovered evidence that the front room had been set up as a makeshift cannabis dispensary, investigators said, as reported by News4JAX.
Police say the property was operating like an illegal dispensary
Investigators found multiple cameras pointed at what looked like a retail area and other signs the house was being used to sell cannabis without a state license. That kind of operation falls outside Florida's regulated medical-marijuana framework, which requires licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers to follow seed-to-sale tracking and other security rules under Florida Statutes §381.986. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has in recent weeks also moved on other large illegal caches of marijuana, including a Feb. 17 Westside seizure, according to WOKV/ActionNewsJax.
What’s next
The suspects now face felony charges and the case will be presented to the State Attorney for prosecution; court dates have not been posted publicly. JSO says the investigation is ongoing and prosecutors and detectives could file additional charges as they review evidence.
