A report of a fraud at a bank led to a fatal officer-involved shooting, police say
North Miami Beach officers opened fire Monday afternoon when a man tried to ram the officers’ cars, said Miami Dade police, the agency investing the shooting.
The man, later identified as 29-year-old Yamil Acevedo, died. No officers were injured.
According to police, officers were called to a fraud in progress at a TD Bank, 1190 NE 163 St. in North Miami Beach.
When officers arrived, they saw “the subject’s vehicle fleeing, and they attempted to conduct a traffic stop,” police said.
That’s when Acevedo “proceeded to ram into the officers’ vehicles, when the officers discharged their firearms, striking him.”
It was not immediately clear how many officers opened fire. The incident happened near the intersection of Northeast 12th Avenue and 163rd Street.
According to WSVN, aerial footage of the scene showed a red pickup truck with four bullet holes .
