Hours after the shooting, around 9:30 p.m. Monday, deputies tracked the suspect down at an Extended Stay America in the area of 7th Street and Northwest 66th Avenue.
When deputies moved into to try to arrest the man as he was entering his car but there was a shootout and deputies shot the man.
The man, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Video of the scene provided by a witness shows what appears to be a body inside a car in the parking lot.
"Despite the exchange of gunfire and the fact that these detectives were trying to take this armed and dangerous subject into custody, fortunately, no deputies were injured and there were no other reported injuries," Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Det. Angel Rodriguez said.
The sheriff's office also said they recovered a gun from inside the man's car.
Linares' cousin said the killer met Linares at a restaurant where she worked and started stalking her.
"He ended up, like, obsessing over her and would follow her to the point where if she was hanging out with a friend or even family, and he would think that it could have been somebody she was dating or interested in, he would attack her verbally," said Jiemmy Piersante, Linares' cousin.
Linares did not file a restraining order or tell her family members that this man was following her, Piersante said.
"She didn't know he was capable of doing such things, so women out there, especially if you are single moms with no support, just reach out for help," she said.
The shooting remains under investigation by Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Internal Affairs and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which is standard practice in police shootings.
