MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Body camera footage, released by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, shows the deputy-involved shooting that left a 17-year-old dead in North Beach.
Deputies said they responded to a home in the area, along the 700 block of 81st Street near Hawthorne Avenue, on July 24. Before entering, the response team announced their presence and knocked multiple times.
Ultimately, they entered the home based on their firearm-related search warrant.
Once inside the home, a woman is seen in the video complying with deputies’ commands. But MDSO said a 17-year-old exited the bedroom with a firearm in his right hand, prompting deputies to open fire and strike the subject.
A Special Response Team Medic on scene rendered aid while paramedics arrived. Upon the arrival of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units, they determined the teen was dead.
Family members later identified the 17-year-old as Durrell Young.
7News cameras captured loved ones devastated upon hearing the news.
“My baby was everything to me. He’s gotten in trouble. He’s not a saint, but he’s most definitely on a different track. He starts school August 13 and he just came home from boot camp and he’s been doing everything I’ve asked around the house,” said Yvonne Warner, Young’s mother.
A second suspect, 18-year-old Valentino Berry, who was named in the search warrant, was taken into custody.
In the video released on Monday, deputies showed the handgun allegedly used by Young. They say it was located on the floor next to his right leg following the shooting.
At the time of the shooting, MDSO Sheriff Rosie Cordero Stutz addressed the teen’s past criminal record.
“These two subjects have extensive criminal pasts for firearms violations. They’re currently on probation. They are registered gang members and are wearing ankle monitors as well,’ said Cordero-Stutz.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has taken over the ongoing investigation.
