JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office said officers shot and killed a Dinsmore man after he approached them with a knife<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Police say Cabrera had a knife, and threatened to kill himself and his wife. His daughter Adlin Cabrera said Jose\u2019s schizophrenia and bipolar disorder influenced his behavior. <\/p>\n

\u201cHis mental capacity was not there completely. And he chose to [she points to suggest he left the argument] They could have argued and he could have said something but \u2026\u201d Adlin Cabrera said. <\/p>\n

According to police, three JSO officers arrived at Cabrera\u2019s son\u2019s house on Foxtail Lane. <\/p>\n

They told Cabrera to get out of his minivan, he got out holding a knife, approached police on the front lawn despite them trying to de-escalate, JSO said. Police then shot Cabrera, gave him CPR and took him to a hospital where he died. <\/p>\n

The family said they watched the incident on their doorbell camera video and did not see Jose with a weapon. The Cabreras tell Action News Jax that they aren\u2019t close with Jose\u2019s wife so they\u2019re unaware of any domestic violence. They say the wife \u2013 who called police \u2013 also texted them that Jose was unarmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe even have a message from her. He didn\u2019t have a knife. He had nothing. We have a message from her!\u201d Adlin Cabrera said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re advancing toward a police officer holding a knife, the result is going to end up pretty much like it is,\u201d Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said at a media briefing on the incident. <\/p>\n

This is the second JSO officer involved shooting this week, the fifth this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is dictated by the individual. If we\u2019re talking to you or anyone at this point someone produces a weapon to change the whole situation changes,\u201d Waters said.<\/p>\n

The three officers involved were all new to the force and it was their first night on patrols without a veteran officer, police said. They are on administrative leave stemming from this shooting. <\/p>\n

Waters said the officers are trained, so inexperience was not a factor in the shooting. Counselling services are available to all officers involved. <\/p>\n
