A man was killed Tuesday during a drug-related robbery, which led to police finding around $1.4 million in cash and narcotics with an approximate street value of $5 million in a Miami Gardens home, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Investigators found more than 92 pounds of narcotics, including cocaine, MDMA, Xanax and marijuana \u2014 marking the largest drug seizure in Miami Gardens Police Department history, the Miami-Dade State Attorney\u2019s Office said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The drug bust stemmed from a reported shooting around 1:35 a.m. Tuesday on the 3600 block of NW 173rd St., a Miami Gardens Police Department spokesperson said. Officers found a man suffering from a gunshot wound lying on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n
The man, who was not identified, had been involved in an armed fight, police said. He fired his gun, which led to another individual shooting the man in the head.<\/p>\n
He was taken to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital, where he died, police said. Authorities didn\u2019t identify who shot him or whether that individual was facing criminal charges.<\/p>\n
Investigators determined the man was killed during a robbery at the home of Anthony Enrique Gordon, 50, and his girlfriend, Danette Larae Young, 58, the state attorney\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n
The couple claimed they were victims of the robbery, but investigators executed a search warrant at their home as part of the homicide investigation, the office said. Detectives determined the motive for the robbery was drug-related after they seized around $6.4 million in cash and drugs from inside the home.<\/p>\n
Gordon and Young are both facing charges, including trafficking of cocaine, oxycodone, amphetamines, fentanyl and illegal drugs and dealing in stolen property, the statement said. They didn\u2019t have attorneys representing them as of Wednesday afternoon, and their arrest affidavits weren\u2019t available either. Gordon and Young were being held without bond at the Miami-Dade Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, jail records show.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat began as a home invasion robbery investigation quickly revealed a major narcotics operation hidden in plain sight,\u201d Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said in the statement. \u201cThis record setting seizure sends a clear message: drug trafficking will not be tolerated in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
