According to Miami Beach Police, a patrol officer spotted a silver Porsche with temporary tags parked on the south side of the 100 block of 10th Street on Tuesday at 4:44 p.m.

The car and the tag matched a description for a vehicle that was linked to an armed murder suspect.

On the passenger side, police spotted a man with a satchel-type bag laying on his right leg.

Officers instructed Daniels to get out of the car, but they say, he resisted. He was pulled out of the vehicle and the bag was left behind between the passenger seat and front passenger side of the door, according to the police report.

Police found that Daniels had four Oxycontin pills in his pockets — the key to the Porsche was in his right front pocket.

A 28 mm FN Herstal Belgium gun was found in the car inside the satchel bag. It was loaded with six blue, armored piercing live rounds in a 20-count magazine, according to police.
