New body camera footage shows Miami-Dade deputies fatally shooting an armed man suspected in a double murder outside a food truck last year. The footage shows deputies arriving and opening fire on the suspect in his vehicle before approaching with guns drawn. The suspect, identified as 70-year-old Luis Montero Moncada, was a suspect in a shooting earlier in the day that killed two people.

Why it matters

This incident highlights the challenges law enforcement face when pursuing dangerous suspects, as well as the use of body cameras to provide transparency around officer-involved shootings. The double murder case also sheds light on the issue of domestic violence and obsession that can tragically lead to deadly violence.

The details

The footage shows deputies trying to arrest Montero Moncada as he got into his vehicle, but they were "met with an exchange of gunfire." Multiple deputies opened fire on the suspect's vehicle, which was riddled with bullets. Montero Moncada was found dead in the driver's seat, and a handgun was recovered from the vehicle. Officials said the suspect refused deputies' commands and fired at them several times before they opened fire.
