A Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputy shot a man to death Sunday night after responding to a domestic dispute in Southwest Miami-Dade, officials said.

Deputies received a call shortly before 6:30 p.m. Sunday from a woman in an altercation with her armed husband, 31-year-old Kelly Allen Hudson, near Southwest 130th Avenue and 132nd Terrace, according to the sheriff’s office.

A struggle was heard during the call. When a deputy arrived, Hudson was brandishing a firearm. A deputy fired at Hudson.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the sheriff’s office said.

The deputy was not injured during the incident and Hudson’s gun was recovered.
