Plea expected in fatal attack at Jacksonville Amazon fulfillment center

Daisean Thomas Biffle is charged with 2nd degree murder following an attempted murder/suicide at the Northside fulfilment center.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla — A 22-year-old man accused of shooting and killing the mother of one of his children at the Amazon fulfillment center last month will enter a plea Thursday, according to court records.

Daisean Thomas Biffle's arraignment will take place at 9 a.m. before Judge Adrian Soud.

Biffle was arrested in September on a second-degree murder charge after police say he shot and killed a 22-year-old woman at the center at 12900 Pecan Park Road.

Police said Biffle then shot himself in an effort to commit suicide. He was briefly hospitalized, but was sent to jail days later.

The victim has been identified as Ebony Nicholas on a "Rest In Heaven" tribute page on Facebook. The Raines High School graduate had at least one child with the man arrested in her death, Daisean Thomas Biffle, according to an older Facebook page image he posted in July 2017.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said officers were called to the scene shortly after 7:15 p.m. on Sept. 29. At the scene, police said officers found Biffle injured and the woman dead from gunshot wounds.
