Florida Deputy Shoots at Unarmed Man Mistaken for Gunfire

A Florida sheriff's deputy, Jesse Hernandez, mistakenly fired at a Black man, Marquis Jackson, who was handcuffed and placed in a patrol vehicle after mistaking the sound of a falling acorn for gunfire. The incident, which occurred during a stolen vehicle investigation, left Jackson traumatized but unharmed. Hernandez has since resigned and not been charged, while an internal investigation found his use of force to be unreasonable. The sheriff's office has incorporated the incident into training and expressed gratitude that no one was injured.
