A late-night confrontation in a North Miami Beach high-rise parking garage has led to a serious attempted murder charge for a 24-year-old Aventura woman, after a shooting that left a 35-year-old man wounded on March 15. The man was taken to Aventura Hospital with a gunshot wound to his lower back, and investigators say surveillance cameras and building access records became the backbone of their case.
Jail records list the suspect as Laura Tavarez Ramirez, who is charged with attempted second-degree murder with a firearm or deadly weapon in connection with the incident at 16395 Biscayne Boulevard, according to Local 10. The records show Tavarez Ramirez is being held without bond at the county jail while detectives continue to dig through evidence.
The injured man did not mince words when he called 911, reportedly telling dispatchers, “Laura shot me,” before later picking Tavarez Ramirez out from surveillance images, as reported by Local 10. Investigators say building video shows the pair riding an elevator together, appearing on upper floors, then heading to the eighth-floor garage. Moments later, a woman is seen running from the area, and a black Range Rover is captured leaving the property. Elevator access logs, police say, show a key fob was used that is registered to a penthouse unit linked to Tavarez Ramirez.
