NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – The guy who boldly strolled up to a man in North Miami Beach, robbed him, and then shot him is now the subject of a manhunt by the authorities.
The police have sent in their K-9 units to assist in the hunt for the person who fired the pistol.
At about three in the afternoon, the victim was robbed as he was waiting to have one of his tires looked at in the neighborhood of 290 NE 167 St., according to the officials who investigated the incident.
The victim, who was interviewed by Bridgette Matter of Local 10 News, said that he was threatened with his mobile phone by an individual who approached him while carrying a firearm.
According to Shaul Shamai, the suspect opened fire on him when he refused to hand up his phone.
He got cut in the leg and he told Local 10 News that he considers himself very fortunate to be alive.
According to Shamai, the individual nonchalantly strolled away, and then he proceeded to a petrol station, where a clerk allowed him to use a phone to call for assistance.
“I hope this never happens to anyone else and I feel very fortunate that I am still alive,” Shamai added. “I feel very lucky that I am still alive.” “And to the people like this guy who did it, it’s not worth it to try to kill someone for a phone,” the speaker says, referring to the perpetrator.
He further said that the individual in question was a young male dressed in all black and wearing a black hoodie.
There have been no arrests reported by the police.
