Police are searching for a suspect who allegedly lured a man to a Pinecrest neighborhood then opened fire on him multiple times last month.

Jefferey Manuel Chamorro, 31, is a wanted man and is expected to face an attempted murder charge in the April 17 shooting, Pinecrest Police said Tuesday.

Chamorro had allegedly lured a man into a residential area along Southwest 128th Street then pulled up in his vehicle next to the victim's vehicle and fired five rounds into the driver's front side door, police said.

A brief surveillance video shows the victim driving a pickup truck being followed by a sedan when multiple gunshots are heard.

The victim, who was not injured, then reportedly followed Chamorro, but lost him in traffic.

The victim's identity and the circumstances that led to this incident have not been released.

Investigators said they spoke with Chamorro and arranged a surrender, but he failed to appear.

Chamorro was last seen in a grey 2016 Cadillac SUV with the Florida Tag RFIW55.

Documents show Chamorro has a lengthy criminal record including domestic battery, drug possession and false insurance claims.

Police say Chamorro is considered to be armed and dangerous.

Anyone who knows where Chamorro may be is encouraged to contact the Pinecrest Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at 305-234-2100 or Crimestoppers at 305-471-8477.
