Leer en espa\u00f1ol<\/a><\/p>\nDeputies with the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office on Monday arrested Tyquan Lamar Howard, 25, in connection with the shooting that they say occurred on June 18 in the county\u2019s West Little River neighborhood.<\/p>\n
According to Howard\u2019s arrest report, deputies responded just before 1:15 p.m. to a ShotSpotter alert indicating that one round had been fired near Northwest 79th Terrace and Northwest 21st Avenue.<\/p>\n
While deputies were en route, dispatchers advised that the victim had reported that someone had fired at his vehicle, the report states. <\/p>\n
The victim told investigators he was working as an Uber Eats delivery driver when he saw Howard walking south on Northwest 21st Avenue before turning west onto Northwest 79th Terrace, according to the report.<\/p>\n
The report states the driver later received a notification directing him to pick up an order from a nearby Church\u2019s Texas Chicken. <\/p>\n
According to the report, after making a U-turn on Northwest 79th Terrace and passing Howard a second time, the driver said he saw Howard reach into his waistband, pull out a gun and fire toward his vehicle as he drove away. <\/p>\n
Investigators said the bullet struck the vehicle\u2019s front driver\u2019s-side tire, causing it to rapidly deflate. They said the victim was not injured.<\/p>\n
According to the report, surveillance video captured the shooting and showed the suspect fleeing on foot toward his home. <\/p>\n
Investigators said they also identified Howard as the person seen entering a nearby gas station after the shooting, matching the description provided by the victim.<\/p>\n
Deputies executed a search warrant at Howard\u2019s home on Monday, where they seized clothing, shoes and clear eyeglasses matching those worn by the shooter, along with a gun of the same caliber used in the shooting, the report states.<\/p>\n
Authorities said Howard was taken into custody at his home and transported to the MDSO\u2019s Northside District Station where he invoked his right to an attorney.<\/p>\n
Jail records show he is facing one count each of premeditated attempted murder and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n
As of Tuesday morning, he was being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. He was also ordered to stay away from the victim. <\/p>\n
Authorities have not released a possible motive for the shooting.<\/p>\n
