Sharpe and the 35-year-old victim had dated for four years and separated four months ago, authorities said.

According to his arrest report, Sharpe went to the victim’s job at 250 NE 72nd St around 4 p.m. Friday and started yelling toward her to get in his car.

Police said the victim refused and tried to get a Lyft, but Sharpe allegedly threatened to ram the Lyft vehicle with his car and shoot it up.

The victim then tried to walk away from Sharpe’s car, at which time he pulled out a gun and shot 12 rounds in her direction, the report stated.

“You’re going to die!” Sharpe yelled at his ex, according to authorities.

Police said the victim was shot five times – twice in the left leg, once in the right leg, once in the right arm and once in the abdomen.

Miami Fire Rescue personnel rushed the victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where she was listed in stable condition.

Police said a Smith & Wesson firearm was found on Sharpe when he was taken into custody Sunday.

According to his arrest report, Sharpe told a detective that he had gotten into an argument with his ex on Thursday and told her, “I’ll f*** you up,” but denied shooting her the next day.
