Off-Duty Edgewater Police Officer Shot, Killed at Ormond-by-the-Sea Circle K, Officials Say
Officer David Jewell, ambushed and fatally shot by a familiar Circle K clerk, was targeted in an assassination-style attack involving 10-15 shots, authorities reported.
- On September 15, 2025, David Jewell, a 45-year-old off-duty Edgewater Police officer, was fatally shot by employee Eduardo Machado at a Circle K located in Ormond-by-the-Sea.
- The shooting followed surveillance footage showing Machado, who knew Jewell, leaving the store, retrieving a jacket from his car, then returning and ambushing Jewell from behind.
- Sheriff Mike Chitwood described Jewell as a reliable man who was shot multiple times in the head while buying a hot dog and waiting to pay at the register.
- Chitwood called the event an "out and out assassination" based on video showing Machado firing 10-15 shots, including five to Jewell's head, and later changing shirts and concealing the weapon.
- The motive for the shooting is still under investigation, with Ocean Shore Boulevard closed for the inquiry, and expressions of sympathy have been offered to both the Edgewater Police Department and the family of Officer Jewell.
