MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 22-year-old man faced charges on Monday in Miami-Dade County after a shooting near the Miami Executive Airport, records showed.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the shooting shortly after 1:50 a.m. at Southwest 137 Avenue and 120 Street and identified the gunmen as Jose Diaz-Caraballo and Rasheed Hussien.
Deputies responded to Wawa at 11990 SW 137 Ave., in the Hammocks neighborhood, and the parking lot of Sergio’s Restaurant at 13550 SW 120 St., in the Three Lakes neighborhood.
Diaz-Caraballo reported his friend told him Hussien and his brothers had threatened him at the Wawa at 11990 SW 137 Ave., so he responded, and “shot one round,” according to deputies.
Rasheed Hussien reported that he and his brothers were at Wawa when a group of men was “mugging them and saying things to them in Spanish,” and then outside Diaz-Caraballo shot at them, according to deputies.
Hussien said he ran to the parking lot at 13550 SW 120 St., grabbed a firearm from his brother’s parked black Infiniti, G375, and “in self-defense, he shot several rounds” at Diaz-Caraballo, records showed.
Deputies reported finding eight spent bullet casings.
A deputy detained Diaz-Caraballo shortly after 1:55 a.m. near Southwest 120 Street and 135 Court, and corrections booked him shortly after 11:50 p.m. at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
On Sunday, prosecutors filed a case against Diaz-Caraballo, who appeared in bond court. A judge ordered him to stay away from the three Hussien brothers.
Diaz-Caraballo, who was born in Venezuela, had a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold, records showed. He faced three counts of second-degree attempted murder with a deadly weapon.
Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Zachary James was set to preside over the case.
