MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 26-year-old man was arrested Monday after authorities said he opened fire on two people outside his Pinewood apartment complex.
Jail records show Juan Carlos Nunez is facing two counts of attempted first-degree murder with a deadly weapon and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
The shooting happened shortly after 6:30 a.m. near the 10000 block of Northwest 17th Avenue.
Investigators said a man and woman flagged down officers and reported that they had been shot at.
Detectives said the woman had been visiting Nunez’s residence when another individual arrived to pick her up.
As the two got into a vehicle, deputies said they saw Nunez on his balcony holding a handgun.
Moments later, they said Nunez allegedly ran toward them and began firing. One of the individuals returned fire in self-defense before driving away. No injuries were reported.
Deputies said they later made contact with Nunez, who was taken into custody without incident.
After being read his Miranda rights, he gave a statement to detectives which was redacted in the publicly-released report.
A motive for the shooting has not been released at this time.
As of Tuesday, Nunez was being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
