An investigation into a predawn police-involved shooting is ongoing in Miami-Dade County.

Police were attempting to apprehend the subject when they say one of their officers fired his weapon, grazing the man in his right shoulder.
āWe didnāt see the victim but we saw a bunch of people run away and screaming about it, so it was scary,ā said witness Maria Teresa.
The man was taken into custody and transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Miami Policeās Internal Affairs Unit, as well as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, will be handling the investigation.
The incident is believed to have been caught on surveillance video, and detectives are now in the process of gathering the video evidence from several nearby businesses.
