Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said in a series of news conferences that the victims were shot inside the Dollar General store and in a car in the parking lot by Ryan Palmeter, 21, of Orange Park, Florida, on August 26, 2023.
The sheriff said the rampage was a “racially motivated” attack, and all three victims were targeted because they were Black. According to the sheriff, Palmeter left behind a racist manifesto with “sickening” ideology and scrawled swastikas on his rifle.
