Confrontation after Miami-Dade e-scooter crash leads to fatal shooting, deputies say

The search for a shooter continues after Miami-Dade deputies say that a confrontation following a crash involving e-scooters in Gladeview over the weekend led to gunfire and left one man dead.

According to information provided by the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to reports of a shooting in the area of Northwest 57th Street and Northwest 22nd Court just before 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

When deputies arrived, they said they found an adult man, who was later identified as 24-year-old Darryl Johnson, suffering from gunshot wounds. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews pronounced him dead at the scene.

While the incident was being investigated, deputies said that it was learned the victim and shooter were traveling on electric scooters and crashed at the intersection.

That then led to a dispute, and deputies said the subject pulled out a gun and shot Johnson.

Deputies said the shooter, who was with a child, got back onto his scooter and fled the scene. There is now a search underway for the person involved.

Victim's mother describes him as "incredible, loving"

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police.
