HIALEAH — Police said one man was arrested and another suspect is at-large for their connection to Friday's Miami-Dade barbershop fire.

In a Saturday press release, the Hialeah Police Department announced they have arrested 38-year-old Miguel Reyes Jr. and are still searching for 56-year-old Alberto Gonzalez, who were both caught on camera shattering the front window of a Hialeah barbershop and setting it ablaze with two Molotov cocktails, resulting in over $100,000 in damages.

Around 3:40 a.m., Hialeah Police rushed to the strip mall on West 49th Street where the barbershop was located to put out the flames. Witnesses said they saw two people — believed to be Reyes Jr. and Gonzalez — at the scene when it happened.
