MIAMI – A multi-million dollar jury verdict against Miami-Dade Police following a deadly crash involving a bicyclist. For the first time since the decision, CBS News Miami exclusively speaks with the widow of the man killed nearly three years ago.
CBS News Miami’s Joe Gorchow spoke exclusively with Jeishy Zerpa . He asked her, “How often do you relive that day?”
“When I wake up on Saturdays, around the same time, I look at the clock and say this is when my life changed,” said a tearful Zerpa.
Zerpa’s husband, Juan Carlos Martinez, died on the morning of February 27th, 2021. A Miami-Dade Police car hit and killed him as he was out for a morning bike ride in the Redland.
That morning, the body cam footage provided to us by Zerpa’s legal team shows what happened in the minutes after the crash.
Martinez’s cycling group appeared shaken.
