Suspect Charged With Attempted Murder in Doral Halloween Road-Rage Shooting After Video Leads to Arrest

The victim remains in stable condition after being shot in the face as his Maybach rolled to a stop near busy downtown Doral shops.

Overview

  • An arrest affidavit identifies the suspect as 54-year-old Emilio Rodriguez, who was taken into custody late Friday on a second-degree attempted murder charge.
  • The confrontation unfolded around 7:45 p.m. at Northwest 87th Avenue and 64th Street during a road-rage incident, according to investigators.
  • Court documents say both drivers exited their vehicles and argued, and as the victim walked back to his Maybach, Rodriguez drew a gun, yelled, and fired when the man turned around.
  • Investigators report the shooting was captured on camera, which helped Miami-Dade Sheriff's deputies and Doral Police locate the suspect.
  • After being read his Miranda rights, Rodriguez admitted firing what he described as a warning shot, and the victim was transported to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital in stable condition.
