MIAMI – Records of the internal investigation report show 8 of the officers involved in the May 30, 2011 shooting were from the Miami Beach Police Department and 4 were from the Hialeah Police Department.
According to the closing memo the State Attorney's Office released Tuesday, 22-year-old Raymond Herisse died during the shooting and four tourists were injured -- Sara Alesia Garcia, Crystal Rivera, Carlson Saint Louis and Cedrick Rodrigus Perkins.
Collins Avenue between 13th and 16th Street was crowded when police officers were involved in three separate shootings during the chase.
"None of the shooting officers have provided voluntary statements or proffers of exactly what caused them to fire," the closing memo from the State Attorney's Office said.
