A plain clothes Volusia County sheriff’s deputy shot a 52-year-old deaf man dead who was sitting in his vehicle Saturday afternoon, The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports.
The victim's son says he was sitting in another vehicle nearby when his father, Edward P. Miller, was shot six times. He and his father were at Dryer’s Towing Service around 2:30 p.m. when the older Miller was shot by Sheriff’s Office Investigator Joel Hernandez.
Sheriff Ben Johnson claims Miller was "brandishing a firearm" at the time of the shooting. Miller had a concealed weapons license and his gun was tucked in his waistband and covered by his shirt, his son, also named Edward, said.
Here is more on what lead up to the shooting, per the News-Journal:
Hernandez heard a “verbal altercation” between “the suspect” and towing company employees. Hernandez made contact with Edward P. Miller and identified himself as a deputy, Davidson said. Hernandez noticed that Miller had a firearm, according to a Sheriff’s Office statement.
“Hernandez perceived a threat and fired his duty weapon, striking and killing the man,” Davidson said.
Davidson said he could not comment on how exactly Hernandez identified himself.
“We need to let FDLE conduct its investigation in order to ascertain all of the facts,” Davidson wrote.
FDLE spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger also declined comment, citing the investigation.
The night prior, deputies were called to the tow yard over a disturbance that involved the Millers. They were there to pick up the younger Miller's car when a tow yard employee told a 911 dispatcher that both men were “hammered” and belligerent. The men had been walked off the property twice that night. When the employee noticed a gun in the younger Miller's back, she locked the property’s gate because she no longer felt safe, accoding to a 911 recording.
The 911 recording from the day of the shooting has not been released.
In 2013, Hernandez was given a letter of reprimand for use of excessive force. He was also involved in a fatal shooting that year but was cleared of wrongdoing.
An investigation into the shooting is ongoing.

saw this on another articleThis is not the first fatal shooting incident for Hernandez — last year he shot and killed an armed, suicidal man who ignored police orders. Hernandez was not found guilty of any wrongdoing in that incident.
But about a month later, he kicked a resisting man in the face, and received a letter of reprimand from the sheriff’s office for use of excessive force and causing injury.
that officer has a history of this ? -

lol man get this ignorant ? outta here, you know damn well Officer Hernandez would gun your black ass down w/ twice the speed
said it before and I'll say it again:
this new phenomenon of Pigs recklessly and blatantly murdering innocent whites like they always did to innocent blacks is our ONLY ? hope for a serious shift in how police are perceived and treated in this country.
Its similar to how the KKK greatly helped the Civil Rights Movement when they started murdering white civil rights activists like Viola Liuzzo........
When privileged people start to wake up and realize that the oppressors don't give a ? about THEM either, that's when the tide shifts. -
? like this has been going on long before. Calm down dude. Get out ya damn feelings. You gonna shed a tear for every cracka killed by a damn pig

Will the cop cars come with sirens on, or just show up with the lights only? -

? . Crackas have traditionally trusted the police in this country and seen pigs as some friendly Andy Griffith community leader types because cops weren't in the business of shooting white kids "armed" with video game controllers.
Compare to Mexico where the cops always been perceived as corrupt, so nobody bats an eye if they get clapped.

This ? gonna be cleared to hold another gun again, watch.
