Surveillance video shows victims pinned against wall by minivan

Mark Haye Markeno, 29, faces 2 counts of aggravated battery

MIRAMAR, Fla. – Newly released surveillance video shows the moments a man pinned two victims against the wall of a convenience store with his car in Miramar last week.

The violent move happened during a verbal altercation outside the Quick Stop off Miramar Parkway and 64th Avenue.

According to officers, Mark Haye Markeno, 29, had a verbal altercation with the victim, Tavares Rolle.

Witnesses said bottles were thrown and, at one point, Markeno threatened that he had a gun.

After the heated exchange, Markeno got into his minivan and backed out of the parking lot. He then stepped on the gas, pinning Rolle and an innocent bystander, Aqutavis Lanier, to the wall of the store, police said.

Surveillance video showed one of the victims fall to the ground as the van was pulling out.

Rolle suffered a broken ankle and Lanier had two fractured legs.

Police said Markeno left the scene without helping the victims.

Detectives said they later met with Markeno and his attorney. Markeno claimed he felt threatened because a lot of people gathered around his minivan as he was trying to leave.

He said that he did not intend to injure anyone.

Markeno was arrested on two counts of aggravated battery.
