"I'm going to make them cops kill me and you are going to witness it": JSO searching for man who threatened to kill several people

The incident report states that the Jones texted the victim stating, "You will pay for this and I know where you live and work" and "I am going to make them cops kill me and you are going to witness it today".

The Jacksonville Sheriff's office is looking for a man who they say threatened to kill multiple people and caused a lockdown of the Amazon Fulfillment Center on Wednesday morning.

JSO has obtained a warrant for Ronald Edward Jones, 51, on an aggravated stalking charge after a woman told police that Jones texted her and threatened to kill her.

According to the victim, Jones called her on Tuesday and told her that he was watching her. She stated that Jones kept repeating that he was going to kill himself and that he does not have anything to live for.

The incident report states that the Jones texted the victim stating, "You will pay for this and I know where you live and work" and "I am going to make them cops kill me and you are going to witness it today".

Additionally, in the incident report, it states Jones told the victim that he was in possession of a gun he would kill her and her children.

The fulfillment center on Pecan Park Road briefly locked down in the morning as the JSO responded to reports of the threat. JSO searched the fulfillment center and deemed no threat to the building.

Police were able to track the individual who made the threat down by their cell phone, which led them to the apartments in Northwest Jacksonville.

Police searched the complex and cleared the scene around 10 a.m.
