Deputy fatally shoots 17-year-old during Miami Beach warrant service
A Miami-Dade deputy fatally shot a 17-year-old during a search warrant at 785 81st Street in Miami Beach. Sheriff Rosie Cordero Stutz confirmed the shooting, and an 18-year-old was taken into custody.
A Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office deputy fatally shot a 17-year-old while serving a search warrant at an apartment building in Miami Beach. The shooting happened at 785 81st Street in North Beach, and authorities took an 18-year-old into custody while detaining another person in connection with the warrant service.
The teen was a suspect who displayed a weapon while the warrant was being served. The case was under investigation, but officials did not publicly lay out the warrant’s target, the reason investigators sought the search, or whether body-camera video captured the encounter. The 17-year-old’s name was not released.
Cordero Stutz won the 2024 race for sheriff, became Miami-Dade County’s first sheriff since 1966 and brought nearly 30 years of experience from the Miami-Dade Police Department into the job. Recent deputy-involved shootings include a June 13, 2026, incident in southwest Miami-Dade in which a teen was shot after a confrontation and the Nov. 7, 2025, killing of Deputy Devin Jaramillo, a case that later led to the arrest of Steven David Rustrian, 21.
