Suspect in double murder shot, killed by detectives, Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office says
A man suspected in the deadly shooting of two people in front of a food truck early Monday was killed in a shootout with detectives that night near Flagami, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.
According to investigators, Monday night around 9:30 p.m. homicide detectives were at an Extended Stay America hotel, at 6605 NW 7 St., conducting surveillance on the man, who they said was armed and dangerous. When he got into an SUV to leave the property, the detectives attempted to arrest him.
MDSO said the detectives used their red and blue lights, indicating they were law enforcement, and that's when there was "an exchange of gunfire." The man was killed.
"Despite the exchange of gunfire and the fact that these detectives were trying to take this armed and dangerous subject into custody, fortunately no deputies were injured and there were no other reported injuries," Detective Angel Rodriguez said.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting.
