The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is investigating a shooting involving a deputy from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO).
According to investigators, the MDSO Homicide Street Violence Task Force (HSVTF) and the Special Response Team (SRT) were serving a firearms-related search warrant at the residence. SRT identified themselves and announced multiple times that they were serving a search warrant at the residence. After making entry, a subject exited the bedroom with a firearm in his hand. An SRT deputy discharged his service weapon, striking the subject. An SRT Medic assessed the subject, and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) arrived and determined he was deceased. A second subject, also named in the search warrant, was taken into custody, and other individuals that were inside the residence were safely removed. Detectives recovered the subject's firearm.
The investigation continues.
