NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- One would-be
robber is dead and another is on the loose after a
couple surprised the two armed thugs with lethal
force of their own midday Monday.

According to Miami-Dade Police, a male and a
female were walking along Northwest 35th Avenue
and 50th Street at around 8:40 a.m. when they were
approached by a pair of weapon-toting black males.

When the suspect demanded money from the couple,
the male victim pulled out a gun and shot at the
would-be robbers. "The male victim was able to arm
himself and fire shots at the subjects," said
Miami-Dade Police Department's Rebeca Perez. "One
of the subjects fled the scene on foot, and the
other one is deceased here on the scene."

Officials have yet to identify the deceased
suspect.

If you have any information on this attempted
mugging, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at
305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain
anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.

Another victory!

The article is written from a nicely pro-self-defense perspective too, pretty surprising for a big city, though it is Florida.

Another victory!

Any time a violent POS is put down it is truly a victory.

now here's hoping they don't print the guy's name and address. Retaliation is easy when you know who your looking for and where he/she lives

Derek you've got to stop sugarcoating things and tell us all how you really feel. It's not healthy to keep things bottled up like that.

Good riddance.

I love happy endings.

Well that will save FL. tax payers from giving that bastard a free meal and roof. Too bad the other got away on foot!

A victory for a shall-issue state! We need them all to be shall-issue. Besides, it's our 2A right.

No, not a free meal and roof, had he not been shot, they likely would have gotten away and continued along the same path, when caught would have clogged up the legal system. This way, he clogs up the morgue and funeral home or trash bin more preferably...if it wouldn't cause more problems later (like, OMG a body in the dump!)

Imagine if that happened up here. First the victim would be arrested and lose his LTC and would have to spend a fortune on legal counsel and take a crap shoot with a jury.

"He was a good kid. He had his problems with the law, but just got his GED and was going to go to community college. He was a good father to his kids"

Just thought I'd beat the family to it.

"Laetril Jones was a good kid. He had his problems with the law, but just got his GED and was going to go to community college. He was a good father to his 5 baby mama's and kids"

Added his name.....

I hope they catch the other guy so they can charge HIM with murder of his compatriot.

Too bad the second guy didn't get put down as well. Otherwise, well done.
