Miami-Dade road-rage shooting suspects in court as video shows shots fired
New surveillance video captured the moment two drivers confronted each other and shots were fired at a gas station in broad daylight during a road-rage incident in northwest Miami-Dade.

When the two began to bicker, police said Martin tried to hit Valera. Valera was seen pulling out a gun while Martin ran to his car to grab his firearm.

No one was injured in the shooting but witnesses told NBC6 they heard two to three shots being fired.

“Coincidentally, at the right point in time, the police officer was approaching the red light, I tried lowering my window to get his attention, the second gunshot goes off and that’s when the police officer took control of the situation,” a witness said.

The two appeared in bond court on Tuesday, where a judge gave Valera a $4,000 bond, while Martin was given a $750 bond.

Both men were also ordered to stay away from each other.
