  • Andrew Mansilla, 25, shot by Daytona Beach Police during disturbance call

  • Police chief says Mansilla charged at officers, holding what appeared to be sharp object

  • Officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave

Police Chief Jakari Young said officers found Andrew Mansilla, 25, and another man arguing in the parking lot near Icon One Apartments. Young said Mansilla charged at an officer while holding what appeared to be a sharp object. 

Body camera video released by police early Friday shows four gunshots were fired and a stun gun was deployed. Young said an officer had fired the stun gun, but it was “ineffective,” at which point another officer fired a gunshot. 

The video shows a man start to go to the ground after the first shot, then get back up and start moving forward. That’s when the three other shots were fired, and a stun gun can be heard going off.

Between the gunshots and the stun gun, three officers fired their weapons, Young said at a news conference early Friday.

Police also released two 911 calls early Friday morning. A caller can be heard expressing concern about people causing a nuisance in the apartment complex and being violent. One caller says she could hear a man “chucking things at people’s doors” and “banging his head on the door.”

Mansilla has a history of mental health issues and prior arrests, according to Young. He was most recently arrested last month in a break-in at the Rolex Tower at the Daytona International Speedway, where police say he was armed with two knives and cut a security guard. 

The officers involved are on administrative leave, which is standard procedure when law enforcement is involved in a shooting, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the incident.
