Deputy kills man during shoplifting call at Miami Walmart

A Miami-Dade deputy shot and killed a man at Goulds Walmart Thursday morning after responding to a call about shoplifting at the store, the sheriff’s office said.

The deputy was patrolling the area near the store at Southwest 211th Street around 7:15 a.m. when he received a call that security saw the man stealing items, said Detective Joseph Peguero, a sheriff’s office spokesman.

When he went inside the store, he made contact with the man security identified as the person shoplifting, Peguero said. The man ran to a covered parking lot outside the store and fought with the deputy who was tying to subdue him, Peguero said.
