JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A man was arrested on Friday in connection to a fatal shooting that took place at an apartment complex in Jacksonville's Argyle Forest area in October 2023, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Travise Johnson, 46, is charged with second-degree murder for the killing of 40-year-old Corey Dickerson, according to his arrest report.
On Oct. 10, 2023 at approximately 5:30 a.m., JSO says patrol officers were dispatched to Lindsey Terrace Apartments, located at 8500 Argyle Business Loop. When officers arrived, they spoke to a witness who told them that they heard arguing from inside of a residence by two unknown people, the arrest report states.
"Moments later they heard [the witness] a single gunshot and observed the suspect, later identified as Travise Johnson, exit the listed apartment," the arrest report states.
The report says that Johnson was detained by arriving officers, as he and the witness both told police that Dickerson was still inside the "listed residence."
JSO says when officers entered the residence to complete a safety sweep of the home, they found someone who was attempting to render aid to Dickerson in the living room, in which their identity is unknown due to a redacted report. Police say Dickerson was unconscious after he suffered a single gunshot wound to his chest.
Dickerson was taken to a local hospital by the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department where he later died of his injuries.
An unidentified person who was in the residence at the time the shooting occurred, told police that they were in a bedroom asleep when they woke up to Johnson and Dickerson arguing outside Dickerson's bedroom and moments later, heard a single gunshot, the report states.
JSO says the unidentified person told police that they opened the door to Dickerson's bedroom and as they exited the room, they saw Dickerson lying on the ground on his back and called 911 thereafter.
A search warrant was executed on the residence to obtain evidence, the report states.
"The evidence in the apartment was not consistent with Johnson's statements detailing a physical struggle taking place inside the kitchen," the report states.
On Oct. 18, 2023, Medical Examiner Dr. R. Pfalzgraf told police that Johnson's statements about the incident was not consistent with the autopsy he conducted on Dickerson, the report states. Pfalzgraf says Dickerson's injuries indicated that he was in a seated position at the time of the incident, according to police.
Johnson was arrested at a BP gas station, located at 6842 Wilson Blvd. for an expired vehicle tag, the report states.
