Video shows Miami-Dade drive-by shooting that left 15-year-old hospitalized
New dashcam video shows a drive-by shooting in southwest Miami-Dade earlier this year that left a 15-year-old hospitalized and another teen facing an attempted murder charge.
The video obtained by NBC6 on Tuesday shows a black Honda sedan approach two teens in the area of Southwest 152nd Avenue and 75th Street back on Feb. 18.
Suddenly, someone points a gun out of the passenger window and starts firing at the teens before the car flees.
One victim, 15-year-old Eydam Ramos, was struck multiple times in the shoulder and ankle and was rushed to the hospital, while the 16-year-old victim wasn’t injured.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office later arrested 17-year-old Adrian Negron Vega and another teen in connection with the shooting.
Vega, who is being charged as an adult and faces an attempted second-degree murder charge, is being held without bond.
In a statement earlier this month, Vega’s attorney Robert Pelier said he was disappointed the state attorney’s office was charging the teen as an adult.
“This decision overlooks clear and compelling information showing that he was the target of an attempt on his life by the same individuals who now claim to be victims in this case. It also disregards substantial evidence demonstrating that Adrian would benefit from the emotional, psychological, and rehabilitative resources that the juvenile justice system is specifically designed to provide,” Pelier’s statement read, in part. “Despite this decision, our commitment to Adrian remains unwavering. We will aggressively pursue every available avenue of defense and will continue working closely with Adrian and his family as the case moves forward.”
