MDSO: Man killed in deputy-involved shooting in SW Miami-Dade – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – A man was killed in what authorities described as a deputy-involved shooting in a Southwest Miami-Dade neighborhood.

7News cameras captured an active scene in the area of Southwest 132nd Avenue and 132nd Terrace, Sunday night.

A Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Mobile Command Center was parked in front of a home as deputies cordoned off part of the street with crime scene tape.

According to MDSO, deputies responded to a 911 call about domestic violence involving a husband and wife.

Speaking with reporters, Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said it was the wife who contacted authorities.

“She called 911 and unfortunately was caught up in this physical altercation, so she couldn’t talk on the 911 [call], but our call taker was able to hear what was going on,” said Cordero-Stutz. “Based on what was heard, the deputies were dispatched. She did tell the dispatcher that there were weapons, that he was armed, so our deputies arrived on the scene knowing that there were weapons involved.”

Investigators said one of the responding deputies tried to approach the husband.

That’s when, detectives said, the man drew his weapon, and the deputy was forced to open fire, striking the subject.

Two teens who lived in the neighborhood told 7News they heard gunfire.

“We just heard a lot of gunshots,” said one of the teens.

“Like, seven shots, and then [the deputy] said, ‘Drop the gun,’ and the guy dropped the gun, and the cops kicked the gun away,” said the other teen, “and then, after a couple of minutes, I called my dad, and then [deputies] dragged the body away from the car, behind the white car over there.”

Paramedics transported the man to an area hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Neither the wife nor the deputy who fired their weapon were injured, investigators said.

Detectives have not provided further details about the shooting, as they attempt to determine what led to the domestic dispute.
