Florida strip club surveillance video shows point-blank shooting, 2 arrested after helicopter chase

Two Florida men are in custody and a third suffered gunshot wounds after a brazen shooting caught on camera led to a police helicopter chase early Monday morning.

The video shows two men creeping through the parking lot around 2 a.m., checking out the victim’s vehicle from multiple angles. As they approach, the gunman has his hands in the front of his pants. 

Video shows he gets close enough to make eye contact with the victim, then pulls out a silver pistol and fires at least six shots from just a few feet away.

The victim, a 39-year-old man in the passenger seat, ducks for cover. Another person in the driver’s seat escapes off camera.

Police said later that the male victim suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder. 

“The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office will not stand for any form of violence in our community,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. “These two individuals will be held accountable for their reckless and violent actions.” 

Deputies patrolling in the area overheard the gunshots and arrived to see a white SUV fleeing the parking lot.

The driver allegedly refused to pull over, and the sheriff’s unit sent in its aviation unit, which tracked the suspect’s vehicle until additional deputies, Tampa Police and Florida Highway Patrol could box it in near a stop sign.

“Our deputies and law enforcement partners showcased remarkable skill and teamwork in arresting these perpetrators,” Chronister said. “Let the message be clear: anyone who believes they can bring violence into our community will meet the full force of the law.”

The suspects were identified as Jafet Rodriguez, 39, and Kenneth Jackson, 34.

Jackson, the driver, allegedly fled on foot until Tampa police tackled him nearby. He faces charges of driving without a license, resisting arrest, and principal to attempted murder in the first degree.

Rodriguez surrendered after police surrounded the car, authorities said. He faces charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery, felon in possession of a firearm and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
