Miami-Dade Bus Dispute Ends With Fatal Shooting

MIAMI, FL — A dispute with a bus driver on an empty Miami-Dade Transit bus ended in a fatal shooting Monday when a security guard opened fire.

Detective Argemis Colome of the Miami-Dade Police Department said the incident happened shortly before 7:30 a.m. at the Golden Glades Park & Ride in northwest Miami-Dade after a man got on the bus and began arguing with the bus driver.

"Once he gets off the bus, he immediately gets into a vehicle of the Miami-Dade supervisor that was on the scene, has a dispute with him, and then somehow manages to get back inside the bus," Colome said.

Colome said an armed security guard was called to the bus. "She goes inside the bus, locates the individual," Colome said. "A confrontation ensues. She discharges her firearm and he was pronounced deceased on the scene."

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue pronounced the man dead. There were no passengers inside the bus at the time of the incident.
