MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A man who was killed Saturday in an officer-involved shooting has been identified.
Miami Beach police said David W. Winesett, 51, tried to rob a Bank of America at 1414 Alton Road.
After police received calls about the incident, Winesett was seen entering the Razzle Dazzle Barber Shop on Alton Road. Police said Winesett initially refused to exit the barber shop, but he later came outside shirtless and holding a straight-edge razor in his hand.
"He did raise his hand with a straight-edge razor in it, and he was shot," Miami Beach Police Chief Dan Oates said.
Miami Beach police Detective Kathleen Prieto said Winesett had been in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons two days prior to the shooting. He had been relocated to a prisoner rehabilitation center which houses prisoners completing their sentence.
Prieto said at the time of the robbery, Winesett was considered an escapee from the facility.
Winesett was completing a 151-month sentence for bank robberies committed in Florida. His criminal history includes:
- Purchase, possession or sale of marijuana
- Depositing bad checks
- Theft by taking
- Theft and possession of stolen property
- Extortion
- Bank robberies
The Miami-Dade Police Department is investigating the shooting.
