MIAMI (CBSMiami) - A man known on the streets as "J-Rock" who reportedly shot at two Miami-Dade undercover police officers working together in a Robbery Intervention Detail (R.I.D) is in custody.
Jonathan Gilbert, 19, turned himself in to police on Monday. He was charged with two counts of attempted murder. He's being held without bond.
On June 9th, the R.I.D. officers were working in the area of N.W. 71st St. and N.W. 14th Place, an area known for drug trafficking, when they spotted Gilbert who they suspected was acting as a lookout for a drug deal.
When the two officers pulled up to him in their car, they were not even able to identify themselves before Gilbert pulled a gun and fired on them. He kept on shooting as they drove away, according to police.
Gilbert has a record. He arrested in April for battery and last July for cocaine possession.
