MIAMI (WSVN) - A man who filmed himself firing his gun out the window of a sports car along the Palmetto Expressway has turned himself in.
Nelson Alejandro Perez-Valdivia was escorted into Turner Guilford Knight Detention Center around 8:30 a.m., Monday.
Florida Highway Patrol said Perez-Valdivia turned himself in after he posted a video of himself shooting a firearm from inside a Lamborghini on the state road while another man sped on the highway.
At some points in the video, the driver was even seen going 111 miles an hour.
Troopers spent the weekend looking for Perez-Valdivia.
Perez-Valdivia posted these videos to his Instagram stories where he also shared videos of him and his friends partying before and after firing those shots.
One of his neighbors saw the video online and was shocked.
“That’s crazy. I didn’t know he lived around here,” Anthony Jauntorna said. “I saw it, and I thought it was crazy. Like, why would you do that? It could hit anyone at any time. It was just really reckless for him to do that.”
There were no reported injuries.
7News found that Perez-Valdivia had been arrested for another crime where he improperly displayed a gun back in January of this year.
Troopers said he was out on bond for that case when he turned himself Monday morning.
He faces several charges including discharging a firearm from a vehicle and his bond is set at $112,000.
Perez-Valdivia is set to appear in court Tuesday where a judge will decide his bond.
