MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A convicted felon is back in jail in connection with a fatal shooting that authorities say occurred more than six years ago in northwest Miami-Dade.
The suspect was identified by Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies as 36-year-old Marshaun Altarol West Jr.
According to an arrest report, the shooting occurred Oct. 27, 2019, around 8:10 p.m. near Northwest 76th Street and 17th Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area.
Investigators said the victim, who wasn’t publicly identified, was riding a bicycle and stopped near a group of people gathered in the roadway when an argument broke out between him and West.
During the argument, deputies said West grabbed a gun from another individual and began shooting, striking the victim multiple times.
Authorities said West fled the scene before emergency personnel arrived.
Medics took the victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where doctors pronounced him dead.
Detectives identified West as the shooter after interviewing multiple witnesses. Investigators said their statements were also corroborated by surveillance video that captured the incident.
Jail records show West, who is facing charges of second-degree murder with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, is being held without bond at the Metrowest Detention Center, as of Friday morning.
Records show West was previously convicted of attempted felony murder and aggravated battery with a firearm causing bodily harm in an unrelated case.
A motive for the 2019 shooting remains unclear at this time.
