MIAMI — A 23-year-old man was arrested last week after he shot his ex-girlfriend in the thigh at her workplace in Miami, authorities said.

According to an arrest report from the Miami Police Department, Job Jocelyn, of Miami, was arrested Friday following the shooting at a shopping plaza located at 3721 NW Seventh St.

Police said Jocelyn and the victim dated for about three years and have no children in common.

According to the arrest report, the victim, who works at a nail salon, told officers that Jocelyn has been continuously texting and calling her regarding their relationship status and recently discovered that she has been communicating with another man.

The victim told officers that she warned Jocelyn to stop calling her, saying she would call the police if he continued.

Police said Jocelyn then showed up at her workplace at about 1:30 p.m. Friday and confronted her, asking, “Are you really calling the police?”

According to the arrest report, Jocelyn then pulled out a gun and shot the victim in her left thigh.

Police said surveillance video from inside the business captured the shooting.

One witness told officers she was doing a client’s nails when she heard someone yelling, “Get out! Get out!” before seeing the victim running back to her booth, bleeding from her leg.

Another witness said she was getting a pedicure when she saw Jocelyn walking in the hallway and then heard the victim scream. She said she also saw Jocelyn place the gun on the floor before picking it back up.

Jocelyn was arrested on charges of attempted murder/aggravated battery and possession of a firearm in violation of a risk protection order.

According to the report, after being transported to the City of Miami Domestic Violence Unit, he told a detective, “I don’t want to talk about nothing; I just want to get up out of here.”

Jocelyn was indeed taken out of there and was transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

According to his arrest report, there was a previous domestic violence investigation involving the former couple, which has since been closed, and on May 8, 2025, Jocelyn was served a risk protection order.

As of Tuesday morning, he remained jailed at TGK without bond.
