A year-old case in Miami Beach, Florida, has resurfaced with the recent release of intense police body camera footage.
The video captured the fatal shooting of an escaped convict, Darien Young, by an officer as Young held a girl and a store employee hostage at knifepoint inside a Victoria’s Secret store.
The incident unfolded on July 27, 2023, at the Lincoln Road store. Young, 29, had previously escaped from the New Hampshire Department of Corrections, where he was serving time as a minimum-security resident.
In the released footage, officers are seen arriving as Young had the girl and employee in chokeholds, with a knife held at their throats. “Holster it!” Young shouted at the officers, resisting their attempts to get him to drop the knife. “Back up!”
The officers attempted to reason with Young, reassuring him that his life was not over and urging him to release the hostages. “Just put the knife down, and we’ll talk,” one officer can be heard saying. The tense situation escalated as Young threatened the lives of the hostages.
As the officers maintained a perimeter around Young, the scenario turned critical. Despite the officers’ efforts to defuse the situation and negotiate.
Ultimately, Officer Corey Jackson made his move, firing a single shot that struck Young in the head. Young fell to the ground, and officers swiftly assisted the hostages to safety.
The aftermath captured on Jackson’s body camera revealed the emotional toll the encounter took on him as he left the store. Fellow officers comforted him, urging him to breathe and get fresh air.
Following the shooting, Young was transported to a local hospital but was pronounced dead.
Some nice stuff in that store... Too bad he had to ruin some with his brains.
Lighten up. You’re way to serious for this time of night.
I’m not advocating committing a crime any more than I’m advocating suicide by cop.
And I don’t know what Hell is like, except that the rich man who denied Lazarus crumbs from his table was able to communicate across the great chasm with Abraham. Luke 16.
At the risk of sounding cold or calloused....what’s the cop freaking out about? He did the only thing he could do in that situation and he did the right thing. Frankly, it wouldn’t have bothered me had I been in his place. The perp left him no choice.
As it should be.. good shooting.
LOL!
Thank you Mr. Holier Than Thou - have you considered taking the Dale Carnegie speaking course - I’m sure you’d be a hit on the tour...
There were no riots and the perps family won’t get millions of dollars because he was white.
I’m sure that bit of info will work its way into “Future Crime” training sessions in prisons and gangs from coast to coast.
He is freaking out because he was forced to kill someone. I don’t know a single cop who was forced to kill someone who did not pay a heavy emotional toll. And I know several. It’s easy to talk about what one would do in such situations, it’s another thing to actually kill someone. And as a former prosecutor, I made the very difficult decision on more than one occasion to seek the death penalty. It was a horribly difficult decision. More so to ask a jury to give it, then worst of all, going and witnessing it carried out. Knowing I had a hand in taking a life. Making the decision to take a human life isn’t easy and it is emotionally devastating. I grieved for that officer. And I know he will struggle with this for a long time. I want that type of cop. Not the trigger happy kind.
One was particularly decisive. It was obviously hard for him but it had to be done.
Killing a person, even if justified, goes against human nature.
His reaction afterward shows, that he is human.
That freak makes me wanna vomit!
In sixties, I met somebody, who in WWII was manning some post in Ardennes. There was a German soldier approaching.
He shot, German felt into the snow. He never figured out what happened to this German.
From the way he volunteered to tell me the story, I was sure, this soldier (20 years later) was still haunted by it!
Life is such a journey for everyone and it is difficult for a man as he ages and goes through different stages of life and different ideas and levels of growth and life experiences to know that he cut off a young man on that day, in a situation imposed on them both and which is temporary, as a soldier becomes a civilian and a dad and a husband and a Little league coach who loves the family BBQs and the newest TV shows, and his war fades into the mists of history that few remember, it is no wonder that their thoughts sometimes go back to the young men whose lives they ended before they even really started.
Then I take it you’re another advocate for crime—in such times as these when, faced with rampant perversion and violence we should be motivated to revert back to the attitudes and the customs of the founders of our nation.
The most foolish kind of advocacy is when the advocate doesn’t know what he’s doing.
“ There are so many better places to commit crime.”
There needs to be federal funds set up for seminars in this.

Cop seemed to walk in...and blow the would be murderers brains to a mess..he must have been selected cause other cops just standing around. The negotiator didn’t convince the perp to give up. I think the shooter cop was recovering from the stress of remaining cool and aiming straight and shooting fast , right on target. Without physically harming the hostages. He Was probably undergoing recovery phase of fight or flight enervation. I hope he is ok..Hostages seem freaked out post rescue also. Horrible situation but hostage takers gotta go.
