Suspect shot, killed by deputy in Miami Beach after displaying weapon while warrant was being served, officials say

An investigation is underway in Miami Beach after officials said a deputy shot and killed a man after he displayed a weapon while serving a search warrant on Friday morning.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said the incident took place at 785 81st Street in Miami Beach.

According to Steadman Stahl, of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, the deputy was part of a special response team and was trying to serve a search warrant when the suspect displayed a weapon.

That man, who hasn't been identified, was shot and killed, Stahl said.

"A subject chose to, instead of come out peacefully, he came out with a weapon, leaving our officers with no other choice but to defend themselves" Stahl said. "And they did. And unfortunately the subject is no longer with us."

The deputy, who also has not been identified, wasn't injured.

"The officer is OK. It's just a sign of the times," Stahl said. "It's getting very dangerous out there. It's always been dangerous out there. It just seems to be getting more dangerous."

Miami Beach police told CBS News Miami that the department was assisting the sheriff's office in the investigation.

No other information was released.
