Two South Florida teens are facing charges in a pair of vehicle burglaries including one in which a security guard was shot at and nearly killed, police said.<\/p>\n
According to arrest reports, Doral Police responded to Atlantic Doral at 10500 Northwest 74th Street around 1:15 a.m. Thursday for a reported shooting.<\/p>\n
The officers spoke with a security guard who said he was on routine patrol in a golf cart in the parking lot when he spotted two men breaking into his car.<\/p>\n
He said he confronted the suspects, later identified as 18-year-old Daniel Dominguez and 19-year-old Lucas Gomez-Quintero, before Dominguez pulled out a gun, pointed it at him and threatened to kill him, the reports said.<\/p>\n
The guard said the suspects got in a car and started to leave as he was on the phone and trying to photograph them, but they stopped alongside him and he heard Gomez-Quintero say in Spanish “mtalo,” which translates to “kill him,” the reports said.<\/p>\n
He said Dominguez then shot four times in his direction, as he took cover behind the golf cart, the report said.<\/p>\n
The suspects fled but the guard was able to get a photo of their license plate.<\/p>\n
When officers responded they found bullet fragments and apparent bullet holes on the golf cart and a nearby garage door.<\/p>\n
The guard said the suspects stole a pair of Airpods, a Samsung camera and a hair shaver, the report said.<\/p>\n
Investigators tracked down the car used in the crime, which is registered to Dominguez’s father, and found a spent bullet casing on top of a front windshield wiper, the reports said.<\/p>\n
The guard later identified Dominguez in a photo lineup, the reports said.<\/p>\n
Later Thursday morning, Hialeah Gardens Police responded to a vehicle burglary in progress involving a suspect whose clothing description matched Dominguez’s, and Dominguez and Gomez-Quintero were taken into custody, the reports said.<\/p>\n
At the time, they were using a car registered to Gomez-Quintero’s mother, the reports said.<\/p>\n
Dominguez was searched and had a loaded Glock 9mm pistol in his waistband, the reports said.<\/p>\n
Police said while Dominguez was in custody, he told officers he was going to find them and kill them, and he headbutted one officer in the chest.<\/p>\n
Both teens were booked into jail on armed burglary charges, while Dominguez was also charged with attempted murder in the shooting, records showed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two South Florida teens are facing charges in a pair of vehicle burglaries including one in which a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226,807],"class_list":["post-365660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news","tag-south-florida"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365660","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=365660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
