Police says one person at large and could be hiding inside home in the area

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Miami-Dade police are investigating a police-involved shooting that left a person dead and one woman detained in southwest Miami-Dade.

It happened sometime Wednesday afternoon near the 18200 block of Southwest 192nd Street in the county’s Redland area.

Sky 10 flew over the scene just after 3 p.m. where a woman was being led to a police cruiser in handcuffs and a body was covered by a yellow tarp.

Sky 10 cameras also saw detectives at the scene focusing their attention on a black pickup truck that had bullet holes in the area.

Authorities told Local 10 News that the police officer who was involved in the shootout was originally in the pickup truck when the incident occurred.

Detectives said one person involved in the shooting is still at large and police set up a perimeter in the area to find the person or persons involved in the shooting.

Police believe the person could be hiding inside a home in the area.

It is not clear what may have led to the shooting or if any police officers had been injured.

As is the case in police-involved shootings, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will be taking over the investigation.
