Lake City Police Department City Marshall Bradley Rodgers was shot and killed by a man as he was walking the male known to have “symptoms of insanity” to the city jail after he responded to the male causing a disturbance in town. Marshall Rodgers had jailed the male the previous night for causing a disturbance at the Opera House, releasing him in the morning. A few hours later, he made contact with the male again and was walking him back to the jail. The male managed to draw a revolver and fired three shots at Marshall Rodgers, with one of the shots striking him in the head. Marshall Rodgers was taken to his home and remained unconscious until he died the next afternoon. The male was captured by the following night by the night watchman and some townsmen and brought to jail.
