A 25-year-old man who was wielding a pick-axe was killed in a police-involved shooting in southwest Miami-Dade Tuesday night, Miami-Dade Police officials said.
It happened just before 11 p.m. in the 8800 block of Southwest 183rd Terrace in Palmetto Bay, officials said.
According to police, officers responded to reports of a man breaking neighbors' vehicles' windows and puncturing tires with a pick-axe.
When officers arrived the man ran inside his home and locked the front door. Family members let officers into the home where they confronted the suspect, Ethan James Rincon, who still had the pick-axe, police said.
Police said Rincon lunged at officers, who were forced to fire. The officers performed CPR on Rincon until fire rescue workers responded and pronounced him dead at the scene.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting, which involved three officers.
