Florida man arrested and charged in the shooting deaths of two others on the same day
Investigators with the Broward Sheriff’s Office and the Miami Gardens Police Department arrested a Miramar, Florida, man who killed two men on the same day in two different Florida counties.
At approximately 4:04 p.m. on June 22, Broward County Regional Communications received a call regarding a shooting at 5831 S.W. 27th Street in West Park. BSO deputies responded and located the victim, 63-year-old Roy Gissendanner, lying in the grass, just east of a parking lot in the area, with gunshots to his head and torso.
BSO deputies and fire rescue personnel attempted to perform life-saving measures on Gissendanner until he was pronounced deceased at approximately 4:15 p.m. by Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue.
During the initial preliminary investigation by the responding deputies, it was determined that Gissendanner’s vehicle, a 2003 gold Ford Taurus, was stolen following the shooting.
During their investigation which included surveillance footage, BSO homicide detectives identified the shooting suspect as 26-year-old Ian Jackson.
The surveillance video recorded an interaction between Jackson and his victim, which led to Gissendanner exiting his vehicle from the driver’s side seat. Upon Gissendanner exiting the vehicle, Jackson is depicted as shooting him at least twice. After shooting him, Jackson is observed entering Gissendanner’s Taurus and traveling in an eastbound direction on Southwest 27th Street.
As the investigation continued, BSO homicide detectives learned of a homicide investigation that occurred at approximately 4:19 p.m. being conducted by the Miami Gardens Police Department at a gas station located at 18300 block of North Miami Avenue in Miami Gardens. This incident was also captured on surveillance footage and shows Jackson arriving at the gas station in the vehicle stolen from Gissendanner where he is seen confronting a second victim, identified as O’Neil William, and shooting him. William was able to drive away from the gas station where he subsequently struck a wall.
“This incident was captured on surveillance footage and shows Jackson arriving at the gas station in the vehicle stolen from Gissendanner, where he is seen confronting a second victim,” the BSO said in a statement – as shared by The Sun Sentinel.
BSO homicide detectives filed a warrant for the arrest of Jackson on one count of first-degree murder with a firearm in the death of Gissendanner. Miami Gardens homicide detectives filed one count of second-degree murder in the death of William.
BSO and Miami Gardens homicide detectives with help from the United States Marshal’s Service Violent Fugitive Task Force located Jackson in Broward County Wednesday afternoon, July 1, where he was taken into custody without incident. Jackson was transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
As of Friday, Jackson remained in jail with no bond, according to the Miami Herald.
BSO and MGPD continue to collaborate on the two shooting murders.
A service for Roy Gissendanner will be held at 11 a.m., July 4 at the New Macedonia Baptist Church located at 2201 S.W. 48th Ave. in West Park.
