Homeowner shoots and kills would-be burglar in Kendall

Four people trying to break into a Kendall home were met with gunfire Saturday evening, leaving one of the suspects fatally shot by the homeowner, Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office officials said.

The attempted burglary happened just before 7 p.m. at a home near Southwest 141^st Street and 110^th Avenue. Detectives told NBC6 the homeowner was inside the home and opened fire when the four suspects tried to force their way into the home.

“I heard two shots,” said a neighbor who added that he had never seen gun violence in the neighborhood before.

One suspect was shot in the upper extremities, police said. That person later died at the hospital.

The other three people fled the scene and remain on the run.

Deputies are investigating the home invasion.
