Man Charged With Murder in Miami-Dade Road Rage Shooting

Authorities say a 57-year-old man is accused of fatally shooting another man during an apparent road rage incident in South Florida.

Miami-Dade police say Andres Diaz was arrested and charged with second-degree murder charge on Tuesday.

In a news release, police said Diaz is accused of shooting 43-year-old Ricky Enrique Iglesias during a "traffic dispute" on Aug. 28. Iglesias, who was riding an ATV, died.

Diaz was named a suspect shortly after the shooting, but police say they were working with the State Attorney's Office on formal charges.

Diaz appeared in court Wednesday morning where he was ordered held without bond. His defense attorney and wife joined him in court.

"My only concern if I could, he has significant coronary artery disease, he takes over six medications. He was able to take the medication prior to his entry into the jail yesterday," defense attorney Marisa Alvarez Shapiro said.

The judge sent Diaz to the clinic for proper medical care.
