Burglary Suspect Shot, Another Bitten By K9 in North Miami Beach

A police-involved shooting in North Miami Beach has officers from multiple agencies on the scene Monday.

Crews from both Miami-Dade and North Miami Beach Police departments responded to a home near Northeast 13th Avenue and 151st Street.

Police said they received a call about a burglary at the aforementioned location. When North Miami Beach officers arrived there was a confrontation with two suspects and the driver of the getaway car was shot. 

It appears the suspect drove through a hedge before shots were fired. The suspects took off and ran about a block away where an NMB K-9 bit one the suspects, police said. 

Chopper 6 captured at least two people being taken away in ambulances – one in handcuffs and neither appearing to have serious injuries – while another man was in handcuffs and being talked to by officers.

Police said they arrested 20-year-old Dwanaunne Williams and 33-year-old Olajuwon Baker.

The area where the K-9 bit the suspect is within Miami-Dade Police's jurisdiction. North Miami Beach Police requested the County's aid in the police-involved investigation.

No officers were hurt.
