St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Michael Kunovich died after a struggle with Virjilio Aguilar-Mendez who’s now charged with felony murder.
charged with felony murder in connection with the deputy’s deathImmigration and Customs confirmed to News4JAX Aguilar-Mendez was in the United States illegally and the arrest report said Mendez later told investigators he was afraid he’d be deported.
“Sgt. Kunovich succumbed to some medical issues that were actually induced by the struggle with our subject,” Hardwick said. The confrontation happened at a building with an orange roof that is connected to a Super 8 motel near the St. Augustine outlets, but it is not the motel. The blinds were closed Thursday and News4JAX saw something blocking the door.News4JAX spoke to a Super 8 employee who said it also owns the property where the building is but there aren’t any “no trespassing” signs posted.
“Yeah, I think there’s two main issues with this case,” Lasnetski said. “One is whether the officer had reasonable suspicion that he was committing a crime such to detain him in the first place, or was this a violation of the Fourth Amendment search and seizure? And then the second issue is causation. Did the resisting with violence cause the death? Both of those are potentially legal issues for a judge to determine and also factual issues for a jury to determine.
