Armed man showed up to Miami home of his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend, police say
A man armed with a gun made a midnight visit to the Miami home of his ex’s new boyfriend, prompting a 911 call that led to police, K-9 and SWAT officers swarming the neighborhood for several hours, Miami police said Friday morning.
Miami police said the call initially came in around 12:01 a.m. Friday as a man pointing a gun at a child’s head, leading to a heavy police presence in the area of Northwest 55th Street and 17th Avenue, with police dogs and special tactical officers helping to set up a perimeter. SWAT was called as a precaution, police said.
Based on what detectives know so far, while there was a baby at the home, the child is not hurt and was not the victim, said Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Fallat, noting that the information is preliminary and that the investigation is still in its early stages. Miami Fire Rescue said it didn’t take anyone to the hospital.
The gunman, who police say is in his 30s, left the home before officers arrived. Police don’t know if he still has the gun and said he might have “lost” it.
Anyone with information that can help with the investigation should call police.
