Dade City, Florida — On Thursday, July 27, 2023, around 6:38 p.m., the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a caller reporting that their car was stolen at AdventHealth Tampa at 6:38 p.m. The person said their vehicle was equipped with GPS, and HCSO’s Auto Theft Task Force located it at 8:01 p.m. in Plant City. Deputies tracked the suspect’s location for several miles with support from the Aviation Unit, patrol units, and K9, ultimately leading them into Pasco County. Dade City Police were notified and responded to the scene to assist. The suspect eventually abandoned the vehicle at Publix in Dade City on US-301.
He fled to a nearby neighborhood and hid in a shed before carjacking an innocent victim and forcing the victim to drive in a final attempt to escape. With heavy law enforcement presence surrounding the area, the victim stopped the car, causing the suspect to exit the vehicle. The suspect then aimed his gun at Dade City officers, who were assisting on scene. Four HCSO deputies and one Dade City Police Officer subsequently fired their service weapons, shooting the suspect. The suspect was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. He refused to provide identification to deputies on the scene but was later identified as 36-year-old John Coker. Coker has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 2007, including eight felony convictions.
Coker will face a number of charges including:
Armed Burglary, Vehicle, Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Felon in Possession of a Firearm (x2), Grand Theft of a Firearm (x2), Aggravated Assault on a LEO (x2), Armed Carjacking, Armed Burglary, Residence, Armed Kidnapping

Yeah that officer needs to learn control, there is no ned for the incoherent screaming, nothing is more dangerous and out of control liability than an officer who does not knopw how to remain calm or settle down. Yes I have been there and yes what I am saying is true and achievable.
Typical repeat offender that should be put down. 8 fn felonies and they let him out Imagine what he got away with.
I’m sure over crowded prisons play no part in this.
He'll be out once he gets healed up from free medical treatment at the hospital. He'll be sent back to the streets and commit more crimes until someone, somewhere hands him his very own room or asphalt temperature challenge ticket.
where is the rest of the video?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP truck.
honestly if the coast guard got this good of cameras…..
I hope he doesn't pull through. If he does, then he will be back out on the streets in no time yet again.
Dumbass does the right thing by dropping the gun when he got shot. But then does a dumb by grabbing it and pulling it back at him.
Execution is the justifiable sentence.
I'm thinking the shooter cop was prior military and the others were not
God that camera on the heli is so clear
kidnapping is already a life sentence in florida, hopefully this is the end of his life in public.
Why was he out on the street? The Judge should be held accountable
Happened right down the street from me. Crazy.
Another coward taking advantage of an innocent person. Scumbag. Great job officer's.
Oh good god. Now they're giving dogs to ponytail police?
How was there a hostage in the car, didn't he just take it?
Why was the K9 lady like 'who the fuck is that car driving through'?..obviously the perp that the chopper just told you was coming to you.
What could the hostage have done to make him give up and get out?
And the guy had two guns, then? Because he did through a gun on the ground.
Hopefully this time they keep him in jail. He should receive life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Dear John, Its not me, Its you ………..
8 felonies and he's out??? Wonder what he'll do next time??? Glad no officers hurt.
Anyone else hear the female cop yell "He's got a husband!" at 1:49 and 3:04?
Watching the punk-thug catch lead while squirming on the ground is very satisfying.
