A shootout outside a Miami-Dade County bar ended with a man dead and four others wounded, police said Tuesday.
A Miami-Dade police spokesman, Detective Alvaro Zabaleta, said that on further investigation, it appears the problems started overnight when a man “battered” a woman he was with at the Chicagoan Bar, 10702 NW Seventh Ave., and was taken outside by security. Police previously said he was kicked out of the bar for refusing to pay for his drinks.
The man left, but returned with a gun around midnight.
He shot at the security guard who was in front of the bar, police said. The security guard shot back, police said, and so did another guard who came outside to help.
The customer was killed in the shootout. One of the security guards and three women who were at the bar were wounded, police said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took the security guard and two of the women to nearby hospitals in stable condition. The third woman was grazed by a bullet and left on her own, police said.
Police have not disclosed the names or ages of the people involved but said they are all adults.
