Surveillance video shows <\/a>the moment City of Miami Police officers opened fire as they responded to reports of a fight outside the night club located near Northwest First Place and 23rd Street on June 14, 2025.<\/p>\nOne of those bullets struck Valdes in the torso, proving fatal. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe gave me the title of mom. She\u2019s my first born. She was my world. And I\u2019m going to get justice for her,\u201d said Garcia. <\/p>\n
Since the fatal shooting occurred, the family\u2019s attorney said law enforcement and the Miami-Dade State Attorney\u2019s Office have not been forthcoming with evidence and have complained that the officers involved have not been held to account. <\/p>\n
The family announced a lawsuit against the police department for their actions that led to Valdes\u2019 death that night.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no reason for this investigation to not be completed yet when these officers,13 days after they killed my daughter, were back at work, so they should have something to give to us. They should tell us something,\u201d said Garcia. <\/p>\n
In the lawsuit, the family\u2019s attorneys said officers were in the wrong. <\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026Contrary to law, their own training and Miami police department policies and procedures, the officers involved in this shooting issued no verbal commands or prior warnings,\u201d the attorneys wrote. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that they used excessive force. We knew that they were not only just negligent, but intentional in their actions by shooting into a city street. That\u2019s excessive and unreasonable force and they need to be held accountable for that,\u201d said Ramon Rasco, one of the family\u2019s attorneys. <\/p>\n
Valdes\u2019 family now sit and wait as they plead with the Miami Police Department to release body-worn camera footage or any information that can bring the heartbroken family closer to making peace with the loss of their loved one. <\/p>\n
\u201cAccountability is that the person who killed my daughter is held responsible for it and punished. And not be able to go back to work 13 days later and celebrate birthdays and holidays with their families when I\u2019m here broken hearted without mine. Justice for my daughter, that\u2019s what I want,\u201d said Garcia. <\/p>\n
Valdes\u2019 brother said her story and the loss of her life is so much bigger than just her. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur fight is for my sister\u2019s justice but also to ensure that this doesn\u2019t happen to other families.\u00a0There shouldn\u2019t be parents losing their children to the people that are supposed to be protecting their children,\u201d said Jose Valdes. <\/p>\n
As of Tuesday night, City of Miami Police Department had not responded to 7News\u2019 request for comment.<\/p>\n
