Investigators said the victim arrived at 61-year-old Carlos Manuel Pedroso’s residence in the 23000 block of Southwest 167th Avenue in Miami-Dade’s rural Redland area to drop off golf cart parts for repairs when the argument began around 9 p.m. on Jan. 8.
Deputies said at some point during the confrontation, Pedroso pulled out a gun and shot the victim in the leg.
Authorities said Pedroso and 65-year-old Jorge Luis Estrada then assaulted the victim while he was on the ground, still armed.
The suspects then locked the gate, preventing the victim from leaving the property, according to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Officer.
