Body Found In SW Miami-Dade
SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE (CBS4) ―
A family watched in horror as someone dumped a man's body from a white cargo van with a black grill.
The disturbing image was also witnessed by a couple's young children on Saturday evening as they drove on Quail Roost Drive and 135th Avenue.
"I've never been part of this before. So it messes with your head, but it's part of life I guess," Witness Leonel Perez told CBS4's Tiffani Helberg. "The van just sped off, he threw the body out and sped off."
Perez was driving behind the van with his wife Jillian Martinez and their young children when they saw a man in the cargo van dump the man's body on the edge of the road along the grass. The couple attempted to help the victim, but soon realized reviving him would be impossible since his body was riddled with bullets and his skull appeared cracked.
"He was just laying there not moving. Yeah he was unconscious," Perez said. "He had a real bad fracture to his cranium to the top of his head.. A bunch of bullet wounds yeah I guess he got shot. It was horrible. I feel sorry for that family."
Their six- and four-year-old kids will likely have plenty of questions of what they witnessed.
"We're gonna have to be very careful how we answer that. Just to know that there's bad people out there and they need to be careful," Perez said.
Perez added that the cargo van's door kept flapping and he could not see the license plate.
Miami-Dade Police Det. Roy Rutland said they are looking for the people in the van. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
