A wanted suspect was taken into custody after a massive police response and hours-long standoff in a Miami Springs neighborhood early Wednesday.
Officers from Opa-locka and Miami Springs including SWAT responded to a home near the 300 block of East Drive just before 1 a.m. after reports that a wanted person was in the area, according to sources.
“All night. I mean it was for about three, four hours… please come out please come out," a neighbor told NBC 6. "The house is surrounded, you have to come out.”
The man, identified as 41-year-old Daniel Mohedano, was wanted for arson and other charges. He barricaded himself inside the home near Miami Springs Middle School.

“I woke up and heard them just yelling through the microphone for them to come out with their hands up," the neighbor said. "That’s how it’s going to be, peaceful if they come out with their hands up. They just did that for an hour and kind of repeated it.”
Officers could be heard shouting over a megaphone for Mohedano to come out of the home.
