TK Waters, the Jacksonville police chief, claimed that Ryan wrote multiple manifestos, including ones to his parents, the media, and the federal government. According to Chief Waters, these manifestos included information about the shooter’s “abhorrent hateful ideology.”

According to Sheriff TK Waters, Ryan frequently used the N-word in his manifesto. “Frankly, they were the writings of a crazy person,” Waters said Sunday on “Good Morning America.” “Surname [included] the use of the N-word is quite liberal many times. Clearly his crimes were motivated by wanting to shoot Black people.”

Sheriff Waters said Angela Michelle Carr, 52, was shot while driving, store employee AJ Laguerre, 19, was injured while trying to flee, and customer Gerrald Gallion, 29, was shot while driving. walked into the store on Saturday.

According to authorities, Ryan entered the business wearing a tactical vest and armed with a revolver and an AR-15 style weapon marked with a swastika.

According to officials, the gunman was involved in an anonymous domestic call in 2016, and authorities examined him for mental illness in 2017. The results of that investigation are unknown. A swastika pattern can be seen on at least one of the shooter’s guns in photos taken by police.

According to Sheriff Waters, the shooter’s parents did not own guns.

According to the sheriff, the shooter was discovered on the campus of nearby Historic Black Edward Waters College before transferring to Dollar General. According to a statement released by Edward Waters University, an unidentified male appeared on campus on Saturday and was asked to leave after refusing to identify himself to a security guard.

Before this event, police said a call to his home in 2016 did not result in an arrest. He was briefly detained for emergency medical care under provisions of Florida’s Baker Act a year later. As she addressed the crowd, Donna Deegan, the mayor of Jacksonville, sobbed.

“There are days when we feel like we are going backwards,” she said.

“I’ve heard some people say that some of the rhetoric we’ve heard doesn’t really represent what’s in people’s hearts, it’s just a game. It’s just a political game,” Donna said. “Three people lost their lives, it wasn’t a game.”
