A 17-year-old from Miami is facing serious charges including attempted murder in connection with a shooting last year and multiple armed robberies, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Jencarlos Gamez had been arrested back on July 21 but is now being charged as an adult in connection with at least three separate crimes, Miami-Dade jail records showed.<\/p>\n
In one case, he faces multiple counts of attempted murder and aggravated assault with a firearm for an incident that happened July 19, 2025, at the Berry Farm at 13720 Southwest 216th Street, arrest reports said.<\/p>\n
According to the reports, one group of people attacked another group in retaliation for a previous attack, and during the encounter a gunshot went off, causing everyone to flee.<\/p>\n
Investigators later obtained footage of the incident that helped them identify the shooter as Gamez, the reports said.<\/p>\n
Gamez is also charged with armed robbery, aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed firearm, and possession of a firearm by a minor in a Dec. 13, 2025 incident in which he and two other suspects robbed a victim at gunpoint at the McDonald’s at 12185 Southwest 26th Street, the report said.<\/p>\n
The suspects made the victim go into the bathroom and attacked him, with one of the other suspects pistol-whipped the victim multiple times while trying to take his bracelet and earring, the reports said.<\/p>\n
Gamez punched the victim multiple times while demanding his property, and the third suspect held the victim down as they continued to attack him, the reports said.<\/p>\n
The victim was able to escape and run for help, and Gamez was later identified as one of the suspects, and he gave a confession to his involvement in the robbery, the reports said.<\/p>\n
Gamez is charged with armed robbery in the third alleged incident in which a victim was robbed at Eureka Park at 17021 Southwest 117th Court on July 8, the reports said.<\/p>\n
The victim said his bookbag that contained a firearm was stolen from him at gunpoint, and he later identified Gamez as one of the suspects in a photo lineup, the reports said.<\/p>\n
Gamez appeared before a judge on Wednesday, who ordered him held without bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 17-year-old from Miami is facing serious charges including attempted murder in connection with a shooting last year…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369637,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124,373],"class_list":["post-369636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-miami-dade-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369636","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=369636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369636\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
