Deputy shoots, kills armed man after ‘simple traffic stop' goes wrong, MDSO says
Having illegal tints on his yellow Chevrolet Corvette is what authorities say sparked a chaotic chain of events that led to a Miami-Dade Sheriff's deputy gunning down a man Tuesday afternoon, authorities say. Around 5:15 p.m., MDSO deputies with the Robbery Intervention Detail tried to pull over a man, in his early twenties, in the area of 66th Street and Northwest 22nd Avenue for having dark tints on his car, the sheriff's office said. He sped away, refusing to stop, then a chase began, per deputies. A helicopter overhead helped deputies track down the yellow Corvette to a dead-end in an apartment community in the area of Northwest Fourth Court and Northwest 85th Street, just a mile away from where the pursuit began. After the man hopped of the Corvette armed, deputies say an officer opened fire, striking him. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue pronounced the man dead at the scene. No one else was injured. The deputy has been placed on administrative duty, as is the policy of the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting. 'At the end of the day, this was a simple traffic stop,' said MDSO Spokesperson Argemis Colome. 'This could have been just a citation, and everyone could have gone home.'

Deputy fatally shoots armed driver after traffic stop in Miami-Dade, MDSO says
A man in his early 20s was fatally shot Tuesday evening by a Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO) deputy after allegedly exiting a vehicle armed during an attempted traffic stop, authorities said. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is now leading the investigation, which is standard protocol in police shootings. Traffic stop for tinted windows ends in fatal shooting According to MDSO spokesperson Argemis Colome, the shooting occurred after members of the Robbery Intervention Detail (RID) attempted to stop a yellow Corvette at around 5:15 p.m. near NW 66th Street and NW 22nd Avenue due to illegal window tint. "The vehicle fled the scene, and with the assistance of the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office aviation unit, deputies tracked the Corvette to a dead end near NW 85th Street and NW 4th Court," Colome said. Deputy opens fire after man allegedly exits armed At the dead end, detectives said the driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, got out of the Corvette armed. A deputy then fired their service weapon, striking the man. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and declared him dead at the scene. "Unfortunately, he is deceased on scene, but he did come out of that vehicle armed," Argemis said. No deputies were injured during the incident. Colome confirmed a firearm was recovered at the scene. The man who was fatally shot has not been identified.
