Police-involved shooting leaves man in critical condition early Friday morning
Officers responded to a police-involved shooting early Friday morning that involved an off-duty city of Miami police officer.
The shooting, around 2:15 a.m., happened after the officer dropped off a woman at a house on the 12700 block. As the woman, Diamond Watts, approached the door, she got into some kind of verbal altercation with a man who was inside the house, Miami-Dade police Det. Argemis Colome said.
The man in the house was identified as Antwan Brown, 29.
Brown “walked over to the officer’s car and an altercation ensued,” Colome said.
The officer fired his weapon, striking Brown, according to Colome.
The officer called 911 and was met by officers from the North Miami Police Department. He was not injured.
Miami-Dade police are not naming the officer at this time.
Brown is at Jackson Memorial’s Ryder Trauma Center in critical but stable condition, Colome said.
If you have any information on this incident Miami-Dade police ask that you call Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 or leave your tip at www.crimestoppersmiami.com.
