Body camera video captured the moments when officers raced to an apartment building in West Miami and found the body of a locksmith who was fatally shot<\/a> back in February.<\/p>\n

Luis David Lemus, 32, was charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Adrian Venereo at the apartment building on Southwest 8th Street on Feb. 20.<\/p>\n

According to Miami Police, officers arrived at the seventh floor of 6355 Southwest 8th Avenue, where they found Venereo in the hallway suffering from a gunshot wound to his head.<\/p>\n

The body camera footage shows an officer rushing down the hallway where Venereo’s body lay in a pool of blood.<\/p>\n

“He’s got a gunshot in the head,” an officer said.<\/p>\n

An officer was then seen performing CPR on Venereo’s body before Miami Fire Rescue crews arrived and assessed him.<\/p>\n

“No signs of life,” said a first responder in the video.<\/p>\n

An arrest report said a witness told authorities he was with Lemus when they were locked out of Lemus’ home.<\/p>\n

They then called a locksmith, and while he was working on the lock, Lemus pulled out a gun and shot him in the head, the report said.<\/p>\n

Lemus then fled the scene, but police were able to find him and take him into custody.<\/p>\n

Surveillance footage<\/a> captured the moments before Venereo was shot to death while on the job.<\/p>\n

In the surveillance, Lemus is in a white jersey, walking with Venereo, who is rolling a toolbox behind him.<\/p>\n

While Venereo was working to change the locks, Lemus allegedly pulled out a gun and shot him in the head before running away.<\/p>\n

The suspect’s father is heard screaming after it happened, with blood on his arms and hands.<\/p>\n

“Why would you do that?” he screams.<\/p>\n

Nicole Galvis and Adrian Venereo<\/p>\n

Nicole Galvis, Venereo’s husband, said she came to the scene when she didn’t hear from her husband.<\/p>\n

“I just felt something was wrong, and when I showed up, I saw all the crime scene and the police,” she said. “They don’t know why he did it, he was just working.”<\/p>\n

Lemus, who appeared in court virtually from his jail cell, was seen on video lying down on a bed and pulling a blanket over himself. He didn’t answer any questions.<\/p>\n

A judge denied Lemus’ bond. Prosecutors said he confessed to the crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Body camera video captured the moments when officers raced to an apartment building in West Miami and found…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[1009,225,227,226],"class_list":["post-250427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-caught-on-camera","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
