The video shows the armed robbery of a jewelry store in Coral Gables back in 2019.

NBC Universal, Inc.

Shortly after 4 p.m. on Dec. 5, 2019, a man wearing US Postal Service gear and carrying boxes rang the door at Regent Jewelers in Coral Gables. 

Look closely and you’ll see something was off about the man: he wore a latex mask, and among those boxes, he carried a gun with a suppressor – and he fired it, sending a ricochet that wounded an employee in the forehead.

The armed robbery was the first act in what became a 90-minute cross-county crime spree, chase and, ultimately, shootout where two innocent men were killed by police bullets.
