In court, JSO Officer Matt Herrera, Fang’s handler, explained how Sept. 30, 2018, changed his life forever. Evidence showed Paskel shot and killed Fang and kept running into the woods, but he was tracked down by another officer with his K-9. “All I ask today, your honor, is for a second shot at life,” he said in court Monday. JSO has remembered Fang as helping keep everyone safe at special events and football games and had captured some of the most dangerous criminals in Jacksonville.
