Miami police arrest man they said shot another man multiple times after parking lot argument

A Miami man is facing numerous charges after police said he shot another man multiple times during an argument in a parking lot on Sunday evening.

According to an arrest report, officers raced to the area of Northwest Miami Court and Northeast 71st Street just before 9 p.m. Sunday after receiving four ShotSpotter alerts.

Investigators said that the suspect, who has since been identified as 32-year-old Samuel Saint Remy, called 911 to report that the unidentified victim had tried to hit him with his car.

He said that in response, he opened fire.

He was detained by police, and first responders located the victim inside his vehicle. The victim was rushed to a hospital in critical condition.

Investigators said that they located 15 bullet casings on the ground at the scene near the victim's vehicle.

Witnesses told police that they heard the shooting but did not see what took place prior to that happening.

Investigators then watched surveillance video from the scene. According to the arrest report, the video showed the victim and Saint Remy involved in a verbal altercation.

"We see that they were in some sort of argument or fight," City of Miami Police Officer Michael Vega said. "The victim gets into his vehicle and starts to drive off. He passes the subject, and when he gets almost to the street is when the subject in this case runs up to the car and shoots multiple rounds at him. So he was at no immediate threat at that time making it not self-defense."

Investigators said that due to the video lag and limited clarity, it couldn't be conclusively determined whether the SUV hit Saint Remy.

Saint Remy was arrested and charged with attempted second degree murder, displaying or using a firearm while committing a felony and unlawful discharge of a firearm.
