Body camera video and 911 calls have been released after a Nashville police officer shot and killed a homeless man behind Goodwill Saturday after he fired from a gun and following a call to emergency dispatchers by his mother who reported he was armed, dangerous and talked about “mass murder” via text message that day.

Jacob Griffin, 23, was killed in a confrontation with Metro Nashville Police Department officers on Saturday in the area behind Goodwill at 6708 Nolensville Road.

At some point after several negotiations with officers and SWAT, authorities say Griffin fired two shots. After the second shot, a SWAT officer fired his weapon, striking Griffin. He was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died from his injuries.

Earlier in the day, Griffin’s mom called emergency dispatchers to report her son was homeless, armed and dangerous – including talking about mass murder.”

“He is Schizophrenic, he was texting messages that we was going to kill me and other people. I think it’s something that Davidson County should address.”

The mom goes on to say that Griffin is known to be armed and sent her photos Saturday morning.

“He does have a gun, he has texted me pictures of a full magazine of bullets this morning. So he is armed and I personally would consider him dangerous,” the call says. “He has never actually never been violent. I really don’t want the police to kill him, but I don’t want him to kill anyone else either.”

She says her son texted her a photo of a magazine full of bullets in his hand. The dispatcher then asks the mom if he threatened to harm himself or anyone else. She says that Griffin has been “very angry” at Goodwill after being fired six months ago and has threatened the manager over the last few months.

“He has threatened to enter the Goodwill with a weapon and kill everyone he can find,” the call says. “He has not specifically threatened the Goodwill today. But he has talked about quote ‘mass murder’ today in the text messages he’s sending me.”

His mom gave a plea that something was “different” about today:

“Jacob has never been as specific as he has been today. Something has gotten under his saddle today and there’s a problem.”

Metro Police said officers responded to a wooded site behind Goodwill at about 3: 30 p.m. Griffin allegedly told officers he had a gun, which he refused to surrender. A taser was deployed, but was ineffective, police said.

This initial interaction was not recorded because the officers were not equipped with body cameras, Metro Police said.

At about 4:10 p.m. SWAT officers and negotiators responded to the scene, and a few minutes later a mobile crisis team responded as well.

SWAT officers were equipped with body cameras and the exchange was caught on camera. 

Video shows officers trying to talk with Griffin to come out many times, to which Griffin refuses and repeatedly yells “get off my property.”

At 7:20 p.m., negotiations changed when Griffin fired a shot from his pistol, officers said. As daylight began to wane, officers put a plan in place by using distraction devices and a K9. In the midst of this plan, Griffin fired a shot off again, police said.

A SWAT officer and 15-year veteran with the department, fired his weapon.


Griffin died shortly after arriving to the hospital.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and MNPD are conducting investigations into the shooting.

An administrative review will take place on the tactics used.

A Dallas man and his girlfriend have been charged with murder after allegedly killing a woman that he used to date.

Just after 1 a.m. on Saturday, May 20, Dallas Police responded to calls about a shooting on S. Malcolm X Boulevard.

Police say Keerstin Cooper was the victim of the shooting and was taken by private vehicle to the hospital suffering from a gunshot wound, where she died.

Cooper was shot after allegedly getting into a verbal altercation with Breaira Martin, according to a police affidavit.

Detectives say that Martin was upset because Cooper used to “talk to” Martin’s boyfriend Gabriel Leuyas.

According to police Martin called Leuyas over to the location of the fight and told him to “smoke” Cooper.

Leuyas then pulled a semi-automatic handgun from his waist and shot Cooper twice through the windshield, stated the affidavit.
