On July 19, 2018, in Clearwater, Florida, United States, Michael Drejka fatally shot Markeis McGlockton with a ranged weapon. Prior to the shooting, Drejka confronted McGlockton's girlfriend, Britany Jacobs, for using a handicapped parking space without a permit at a local convenience store. McGlockton came out of the store and assaulted Drejka by shoving him to the ground. At this point, Drejka drew his firearm and shot McGlockton, who then took off running. McGlockton later died from his injuries at a local hospital.

McGlockton was a 28-year-old African American father of three children, who were present at the scene.[1] Drejka, a 47-year-old White man, was not initially charged for the killing by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office; Sheriff Bob Gualtieri cited Florida's stand-your-ground law as the reason. The investigation was handed over to the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida State Attorney Bernie McCabe, who charged Drejka with one count of manslaughter on August 13, 2018. Drejka pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Parties involved

Markeis McGlockton

Markeis Deon McGlockton (March 28, 1990 – July 19, 2018)[2][3] grew up in Clearwater, Florida and formerly lived in South St. Petersburg, Florida.[4] Within Pinellas County Schools, McGlockton attended four elementary schools; attended middle school in St. Petersburg; and attended Boca Ciega High School but later dropped out.[4] In 2009, McGlockton met Britany Jacobs through a friend while she was a student at Dunedin High School.[5] The couple had three children together.[4]

McGlockton had a criminal record that included convictions of resisting arrest with violence and drug possession;[4][6] and arrests for aggravated battery, fleeing and eluding[7] and petit theft.[8] He was also accused of violence against his former girlfriend and his cousin in two separate incidents.[4]

McGlockton formerly worked at a Burger King, during which his route required him to walk on foot more than three miles from his apartment to the restaurant.[4] He later worked nights as a clerk at a 7-Eleven until his death.[4] While Jacobs worked in the daytime as a certified nursing assistant,[5] McGlockton was a stay-at-home dad for their children.[4] He was also an aspiring rapper and artist who could draw and paint.[4]

Michael Drejka

Michael Andrew Drejka (born August 5, 1970) originally lived in Delaware.[9] He moved to Pinellas County, Florida in 2010 and is married.[9] According to PCSO records, Drejka does not have a criminal history in Florida, although the Sheriff’s Office had prior contact with him in 2012 when a driver accused him of pulling a gun during a road rage incident, Drejka denied he showed the gun, and the accuser declined to press charges.

In early 2018, a similar situation occurred in which a truck driver parked in the same handicapped parking spot. Drejka walked around the truck to check for decals and confronted the driver about why he parked there. The other driver stated the fight escalated, and Drejka threatened to shoot him.[5]

Shooting

On the afternoon of July 19, 2018, McGlockton picked up Jacobs from her employer with their three children in the vehicle, a 2016 Chrysler 2000.[5][10] Jacobs took over the wheel and drove her family to the Circle A Food Store so McGlockton could buy snacks for their children.[5] Jacobs parked the vehicle in the store's only handicapped parking space, located on the side of the building.[5] Video surveillance shows there were other spaces available at the time of the visit,[5] though Jacobs later told prosecutors that two trucks blocked her from accessing the other spaces.[11] McGlockton went into the store with their five-year-old son, Markeis Jr.[10] While Jacobs was sitting inside the vehicle, Drejka pulled up in his Toyota 4-Runner, parking perpendicular to her.[10][12] Drejka got out of his truck and searched for a disabled parking permit on Jacobs' vehicle.[11] Britany Jacobs claimed that Drejka then began yelling and motioning at her; she had the other two children in the car.[13] Jacobs says that she then told Drejka to mind his own business.[14] Another man who witnessed the argument walked into the store to report it.[14] McGlockton had not yet finished checking out when he was informed of the situation.[14] Around 3:30 p.m., McGlockton walked out of the store and approached Drejka.[10] McGlockton reportedly told Drejka to get away from Jacobs.[15] McGlockton then shoved Drejka to the ground.[10] About four seconds later, Drejka pulled out a 40-caliber Glock and shot a single round at McGlockton.[16][14] Although the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office stated McGlockton was shot in the chest, Jacobs claimed the bullet struck McGlockton in the left side of the abdomen.[15] After being shot, McGlockton ran back into the store and collapsed in front of Markeis Jr.[10][13] Paramedics rushed McGlockton to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased at 4:04 p.m.[10]

Location

The shooting occurred at Circle A Food Store, located on Sunset Point Road in Clearwater.[17] The convenience store has been locally owned by Ali Salous for twenty years.[18] He was not present in the store at the time of the shooting.[18] Salous previously had issues with Drejka at his business.[19][20][8] Both Drejka and McGlockton were regular customers at the store.[21] A month after the shooting, Salous said the incident hurt the business, but added the public should not be afraid simply because of Drejka's actions.[18] After Drejka was released from jail on bond, Salous stated that Drejka was banned from the property.[22]

Investigations

Pinellas County Sheriff's Office

The incident took place in an unincorporated area of Clearwater, falling outside the local police department's jurisdiction; thus the investigation was conducted by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, rather than the Clearwater Police Department.[23]

Drejka questioned and released

Following the shooting, Drejka reportedly put the gun in his SUV as he waited for law enforcement to arrive.[10] Drejka cooperated with deputies on the scene, and was transported to the North District Station in nearby Dunedin, Florida for further questioning by detectives.[10] Deputies took possession of his gun.[10]

While being questioned by detectives, Drejka stated he was in fear of his life and acted in self-defense when he shot McGlockton.[14][24] He claimed they did not exchange words with each other and that he thought McGlockton twitched toward him before he fired his gun.[14][24] Drejka was asked to re-enact the incident, with a detective filling in for McGlockton.[14][24]

In his interview, Drejka said he would not have shot at McGlockton if he stayed still or retreated. According to Jacobs' interview she refused to move her car from the handicap parking space because "Dude, uh, no. I don’t know you, so, you know, leave me alone". According to Jacobs' interview McGlockton said "Stay away from my girl" as he shoved Drejka to the ground. Drejka in his interview said that he carried a gun since he was 22, and in TV interview said that handicapped parking spaces "have always touched a nerve" since his mother in law and high school sweetheart used handicapped parking spaces.[25]

Gualtieri cites stand-your-ground

On July 20, 2018, the day after the shooting, Sheriff Bob Gualtieri held a 30-minute press conference in which he announced that his agency would not charge Drejka for the shooting death of McGlockton.[26] At the press conference, Gualtieri walked through the events leading up to the shooting and revealed the surveillance video to the media.[26] He started by saying "I'm a big believer in this adage that just because you can, doesn't mean you should. This case may be an example of that. Nonetheless, we don't build it, we just sail it. What I mean by that is: I don't make the law, I enforce the law."[26] Gualtieri cited Florida Statute 776.032 and stated that his office was precluded from making an arrest, due to Drejka's claim of self-defense through Florida's stand-your-ground law.[26] Gualtieri said the investigation would continue before being turned over to the local state attorney's office.[26]

In a second 55-minute press conference on July 31, Gualtieri defended his decision not to arrest Drejka.[27][28][29] The Pinellas County Ministerial Alliance and NAACP Clearwater were scheduled to stand with Gualtieri during this press conference, but backed out a half hour before it began.[28][30]

Criticism of Gualtieri's decision

Gualtieri received bipartisan criticism over his interpretation of stand-your-ground and his decision to not arrest Drejka.[29] Marion Hammer, former president and lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, stated that nothing in the law prevents a sheriff from making an arrest based on probable cause.[31] Florida State Senators Dennis Baxley and Rob Bradley, along with Florida State Representative Bobby Payne, were also critical of Gualtieri's assertion.[31] Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis, a supporter of stand-your-ground, believed Gualtieri did not analyze the law properly in the McGlockton case.[32] Five Democratic gubernatorial candidates pledged to repeal stand-your-ground if elected.[33] The Pinellas County Green Party issued a statement, telling Gualtieri to "get the hell out of Pinellas!"[34]

Within a week of the shooting, protesters created chants and t-shirts calling for Gualtieri's removal from office.[35] During an August 5 rally in Clearwater, Al Sharpton suggested Gualtieri to "lock him (Drejka) up or give up your badge.”[36] In a statement made after Drejka was charged by the State Attorney's Office, Black Lives Matter pledged to "continue examining the racist policies and practices of Sheriff Gualteri and the entire structure that allows for this type of vigilantism to flourish."[37]

State Attorney's investigation

On August 1, 2018, Sheriff Gualtieri announced that the investigation had been turned over to State Attorney Bernie McCabe for review.[38] The following day, the state attorney said there was no time frame for how long it would take to complete the investigation.[39]

On August 10, Detective George Moffett sent a capias request to State Attorney McCabe recommending charges of manslaughter with a firearm against Drejka.[14] Moffett cited three drivers who alleged that Drejka threatened them with a gun in past.[11] Drejka was formally charged with a single count of manslaughter on August 13.[40] Drejka pleaded not guilty to the charge on August 17.[41]

Witness accounts

Deputies interviewed multiple witnesses at the scene of the shooting.[10] Two 9-1-1 calls from witnesses were released by the Pinellas County Regional 911 Center on August 16.[42] The full police report with witness statements are not available to the public from Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.

Drejka's account of events

Within a day of the shooting, Drejka had a sign posted outside his home that read: "NO COMMENT".[43] Drejka refused to speak to the press for over a month following the shooting; until late-August his only public account of events came from statements he made while being questioned by detectives.

First media interview

On August 31, 2018, Drejka sat down with WTSP reporter Reginald Roundtree for a jailhouse interview.[44] Early in the interview, Drejka spoke about his early life and work profession; the financial and physical hardships he and his wife are facing; and threats made to them immediately after the shooting.[45] Regarding McGlockton's shove, Drejka said he thought he was tackled or hit by something.[45] Drejka stated he was in fear of his life and felt that he followed the stand-your-ground law.[45]

Drejka said abuse of handicapped parking spaces is a sensitive issue to him, describing his mother in law and deceased high school girlfriend as handicapped, "My whole life has always been looking for a handicapped parking spot, and it's always touched a nerve with me because of the way they're abused and used." Drejka denied he was a racist. While Drejka wouldn't change his actions, he did apologize for the results of actions to the McGlockton's family.[46]

Public response

Call for a DOJ investigation

Senator Bill Nelson from Twitter
@SenBillNelson

I am calling on DOJ to investigate the shooting that took place in Clearwater last week and determine whether any criminal charges should be filed.

July 27, 2018[47]

On July 27, Democratic Party U.S. Senator Bill Nelson of Florida sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights John M. Gore, requesting the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Criminal Section to open an investigation into the shooting death of McGlockton.[48] The letter was signed by Nelson and four fellow Democratic lawmakers: Senators Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey; and U.S. Representatives Charlie Crist and Alcee Hastings, who both represent Florida in the 13th district and 20th district, respectively.[49] The NAACP, along with its Florida State Conference and Clearwater/Upper Pinellas County Branch, called for a DOJ investigation as well.[50][51][52]

Florida candidates in 2018 elections

During the primary race for Florida Attorney General, Democrats Sean Shaw and Ryan Torrens both stated they planned to work towards their goal of repealing stand-your-ground.[53][54] Shaw met with the McGlockton family and provided his thoughts and prayers to them.[55] Republicans Ashley Moody and Frank White both said they did not want to see the law change, though Moody showed sympathy for McGlockton's family.[53] Shaw will challenge Moody in the general election.[56]

Media coverage

The story broke in the Tampa Bay market within the day of the shooting.[57][58][10] After Sheriff Gualtieri declined to charge Drejka, the story was covered by New York Post that day,[59] while The New York Times covered it the following day.[60] On the following Monday, Jacobs appeared on ABC's Good Morning America and Nightline.[61][13] The story was also covered nationally by The Washington Post,[62] The Hill,[63] The Young Turks,[64][65] HuffPost,[66] and Vox.[67] The story received coverage on cable news programming such as Cuomo Prime Time on CNN,[68] PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton and MSNBC Live with Yasmin Vossoughian on MSNBC,[69][70][71] and America's Newsroom on Fox News.[72] The story was featured in African-American publications such as Blavity,[73] Ebony,[74] The Root,[75] and The Grio.[76] The story was covered internationally by BBC News,[77] The Week,[78] The Independent,[79] and PerthNow.[80] The New Zealand Herald ran the Washington Post article on their website.[81]
