A man wielding a stick killed two people in Miami in an “unprovoked” attack on four homeless people, law enforcement officials said. The suspect was taken into custody following the beatings, which police say were carried out early Thursday.
Prosecutors say police allegedly failed to do their job, which led to the truck driver getting a sweet plea deal.
A man has been arrested after an “unprovoked” attack on homeless people in downtown Miami left two dead and two others hospitalized Thursday morning, authorities said.
A death investigation triggered a large police presence in downtown Miami Thursday morning. According to Miami police, officers found a person — possibly suspected in the death — armed with a stick near North Miami Avenue and Sixth Street.
The North Bay Village Police Department announced that 10 officers will join law enforcement agencies from across the country.
While we treat homeless individuals with compassion ... it is illegal in Miami Beach to live on our streets,” Mayor Steven Meiner said in a recent social media post.
The names of the suspect — who was apprehended soon after the attack ؅— and the victims were not identified by law enforcement authorities because of the ongoing investigation, said Miami Police Chief Manny Morales during a press conference on Thursday afternoon.
