Miami-Dade Police Department director, Alfredo Ramirez, offered to resign hours before shooting himself, according to the county's mayor. Ramirez had an argument with his wife at a Tampa hotel during a law enforcement conference, leading to the shooting. He called his boss, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, expressing his remorse and intention to resign. The shooting occurred later that night along Interstate 75, and Ramirez is currently in stable condition after undergoing surgeries. State officials are investigating the events leading up to the incident. Ramirez, a 27-year veteran, had announced his intention to run for sheriff in 2024.
