The suspect was involved in an armed robbery with Jeremy Horton, who was fatally shot Monday night in Miami during an altercation with Miami-Dade Police officers. Horton was staying at the Extended Stay America hotel, sources said.
Video obtained by NBC 6 showed flash bangs going off and glass breaking from a second-floor window of the hotel.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating, which is customary in police-involved shootings.
On Monday night, Miami-Dade Police detectives were in the area of Northwest 62nd Street and 17th Avenue when they spotted a white sedan that had been involved in an earlier armed robbery in Broward County.
The driver of the sedan tried to flee, hitting detectives' vehicles and a civilian vehicle while trying to escape, Miami-Dade Police officials said.
That led to a confrontation and shots were fired. Det. Cesar Echaverry and Horton were both shot, officials said.
Horton died at the scene, while Echaverry was hospitalized in critical condition.
