SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has released officer-worn body camera video of a deputy-involved shooting in Southwest Miami-Dade’s Goulds neighborhood that left a man dead.
The footage captured the moments when, authorities said, an MDSO sergeant was forced to open fire in the area of Southwest 216th Street and 120th Avenue on the night of Sept. 16.
Investigators said the sergeant approached the man and ordered him to show his hands, but the man did not comply. An exchange of gunfire ensued.
Surveillance video shows the sergeant running for cover with his gun drawn.
“The subject was hit. After he was taken into custody, life-saving measures were attempted, fire rescue responded and transported him to the hospital, where he has passed away,” said Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz.
The sergeant was not injured. Both the suspect and sergeant’s cars were struck by gunfire.
Detectives said the suspect was in his 40s and had an extensive criminal past.
“It was clear that this individual was intent on harming someone, in fact shooting at our sergeant,” said Cordero-Stutz.
