Taxi Cab Driver Shot

Road-Rage Possible Motive


(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- 

The Miami-Dade Police Department is investigating a shooting at the listed gasoline station.  According to investigators, the victim was attempting to fuel his vehicle (marked taxi) when subject #1 (with subject #2) walked up and discharged his firearm, striking the victim's neck.  The subjects fled the scene in an eastbound direction.  The victim was transported to the Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in serious condition.  He has since been upgraded to stable condition and released from the hospital. 

Based on the preliminary investigation, road-rage appears to be the motive. 

Surveillance video captured the image of the subjects and investigators are seeking the assistance of the community in identifying and/or locating these individuals. Video surveillance footage may be obtained from the FTP site under MDPD C/N: PD140829316632.
