BEHIND THE STAR: BECK AVENUE TRAILER

Some calls never leave you.

On May 22, 2018, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office responded to what became one of the most intense and dangerous incidents in our agency’s history, the Beck Avenue shooting at Briarwood Apartments. For hours, deputies and SWAT operators faced heavy gunfire as more than 200 rounds were exchanged with a barricaded suspect.

Eight years later, we’re taking you behind the scenes of that day.
In a special episode of Behind The Star premiering May 22nd, hear directly from the Sheriff, deputies, investigators, and tactical team members who were there. From the first call to the final breach, they’ll share what happened, what was going through their minds, and what the public never saw.

This is a story of courage, chaos, teamwork, and survival.
