Miami-Dade officers face manslaughter charges for the deaths of UPS driver, bystander

Four Miami-Dade police officers are facing manslaughter charges after a grand jury indicted them for the deaths of a kidnapped UPS driver and a bystander stuck in the middle of a 2019 shootout, prosecutors announced on Saturday.

“Given the enormity of the gunfire in this incident at an extremely busy intersection packed with civilian motorists and pedestrians, we presented these agencies’ findings to the grand jury,” Broward State Attorney Harold F. Pryor said in a statement.

After listening to several months of evidence, a Broward County grand jury indicted the four officers on June 6, the state attorney’s office said. The officers turned themselves in at the Broward Main Jail on Friday and Saturday.
