SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A man has been arrested after he was accused of firing shots at Miami-Dade officers in Southwest Miami-Dade.
On Friday, police arrested 22-year-old Fenqwavious Lopez. He was charged with four counts of attempted felony murder of a law enforcement officer among other charges.
The shooting took place along Homestead Avenue and Evergreen Street at around 7:40 p.m., Wednesday while officers were investigating an unsolved murder.
Lopez reportedly approached the officers and showed a weapon before opening fire.
“When they were approached by a Black male, he immediately began firing on their vehicles,” Miami-Dade Police detective Argemis Colome said.
The next day, police showed the number of bullet holes the unmarked police car received from the shootout, demonstrating just how close to deadly the encounter was.
“They were still in their cars when they started seeing the barrage of bullets heading in their direction,” Miami-Dade Police detective Alvaro Zabaleta said.
Officers fired back through their vehicles
None of the officers were injured.
The suspect fled the scene but not for long.
On Friday morning, police announced the arrest of Lopez, and he is staying behind bars for now.
“There’s probable cause for four counts of attempted premeditated murder on a law enforcement officer, so it’s no bonds,” Judge Mindy Glazer told Lopez in court Friday.
If convicted, Lopez could stay in prison for an undetermined amount of time.
