MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A man died after deputies responded to a house with a search warrant on Tuesday in Miami-Dade County.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies with a Special Weapons And Tactics team responded to the house in the area of Southwest 152 Street and 102 Avenue.
The Internet Crimes Against Children task force had been investigating the case of child sex abuse and child porn for over a year when deputies used speakers to announce themselves, according to deputies.
“We removed two adults and a child safely from the residence at the door, simply by verbal commands, and then this individual came to the door armed and confronted our deputies,” Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said during a news conference.
A deputy shot and killed the armed man and arrested a suspect in the child porn investigation, according to Cordero-Stutz.
“ICAC search warrants are the most dangerous warrants historically in law enforcement that we can serve,” Cordero-Stutz said.
A woman arrived and stood near the crime scene in tears. She said her son had called her to say, “Mom, SWAT came in and killed my stepson.”
Through tears, another woman arrived later and said her 21-year-old son, who had worked for the Transportation Security Administration and dreamed of joining the U.S. Army, was dead.
Local 10 News reached out to the TSA for comment, and they responded with the following statement:
“The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has no tolerance for criminal behavior or misconduct on- or off-duty. The TSA employee involved has had his access to all secure areas of the airport immediately revoked and has been removed from all duties, pending the outcome of the case. TSA is fully cooperating with law enforcement in their investigation.”
The victims in the case that was under investigation were as young as infants and as old as 6 years old, Cordero-Stutz said.
Deputies set up a command post at the Colonial Park at 10750 SW 156 Terrace. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement was investigating the fatal deputy-involved shooting.
Cordero-Stutz said deputies were not injured.
