Officer-Involved Shooting Investigation

Sep 4th, 2025

On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at approximately 1:45 p.m., officers responded to the 4200 block of Bayfront Road in reference to a disorderly subject inside of a home. Upon arrival, the male subject fired a shot out of the home. SWAT, the Crisis Intervention Team, and other units arrived on scene. The subject fired additional shots towards officers, and that’s when officers fired back, injuring the subject.

The subject was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, but died a short time later. He’s been identified as Woodrow Meservey, 49.

“This is not the outcome anyone would hope for. We utilized many available resources, including our partners at AltaPointe Health and our Crisis Intervention Team on scene, but were unsuccessful bringing the situation to a peaceful resolution. After more than two hours and the subject exiting the home and firing at my officers, they were left with no choice but to engage him,” said Chief William Jackson.

This remains an active investigation, and no further information is available at this time.
