  • FDLE has taken charge of the inquiry, which is routine in Florida when officers discharge their weapons.
  • Police say officers responded to a call about a person in crisis and reported seeing the man with a weapon.
  • Miami Gardens Police Chief Delma Noel‑Pratt said there may have been another person at the scene whom officers sought to protect.
  • Officials have not said how many officers opened fire, and the department has not released the name of the man who was killed.
  • New doorbell camera video shows an officer briefly entering a neighbor’s home with a gun drawn as units converged, while investigators later worked for hours using a mobile command center and neighbors reported hearing multiple shots.
