MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A man suspected of trying to break into a Miami-Dade house was shot dead Monday afternoon by an off-duty City of Miami police officer, authorities say.
It happened just before 4 p.m. Monday in the Westchester area.
A 13-year-old boy was home alone and noticed someone trying to break into the house in the 700 block of SW 98th Court, just south of West Flagler Street, police say.
The boy called his mother, who then called the boy’s father, a City of Miami officer.
“Her son called her that somebody was trying to break in,” said Christina Carmenate, a cousin of the homeowner. “They called her ex-husband, who is a police officer. He came, and at that point, I don’t know what else has happened.”
The person shot was taken to Kendall Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead there.
The shooting happened outside of the city police officer’s jurisdiction.
“What I heard was some shooting right in the back of my house. And five minutes later I see a lot of police cars, coming and coming and coming,” said neighbor Raul Artiles.
The neighborhood is blocked by yellow crime scene tape as the investigation is ongoing.
