Authorities are investigating after police shot an armed man who fled from officers Wednesday in the Miami-Dade neighborhood of Brownsville.

According to Miami-Dade Police, it was just before 6:50 p.m. when officers spotted a car that committed a traffic infraction and activated their lights to conduct a traffic stop. Instead of stopping, the driver fled.

As he fled police, the driver lost control and hit a parked vehicle and fence on Northwest 24th Avenue and 50th Street, police said. He then got out of the vehicle and ran away.

The man was allegedly armed as he ran across a park where kids were playing, police said.

Witnesses said everything happened so quickly. Jeffrey Owens recorded the shooting on his cellphone.
