State officers investigate fatal police-involved shooting in Coral Gables

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers are investigating a fatal police-involved shooting on Friday in Coral Gables.

Officer Kelly Denham, a spokeswoman for the Coral Gables Police Department, said the crime scene was near the intersection of Mantua Avenue and Alahambra Circle.

A woman who lives in the area said she first heard a “commotion” and as she walked out to investigate she heard five to six shots fired. She quickly ran inside, she said.

Officers warned drivers to avoid the area of South Alhambra Circle and Blue Road. The crime scene included two silver vehicles: A Chrysler minivan with bullet holes and a pickup truck.

Officers placed a yellow tarp inside the minivan. The driver’s side window was shattered and there was glass on the ground and on the driver’s seat.

Denham also said the Coral Gables Police Department turned over the crime scene to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
