Miami-Dade County is grieving after 27-year-old Deputy Devin Jaramillo was killed in a deadly ambush while responding to a routine traffic crash. Authorities say the attack appeared retaliatory, linked to a previous call he had handled.
As he arrived near Southwest 128th Street and 122nd Avenue, two suspects confronted him. Witnesses reported gunfire, and Deputy Jaramillo was fatally shot before he could defend himself. First responders rushed him to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead shortly after. One suspect was arrested at the scene; the other reportedly took his own life.
The loss has sent shockwaves through the law enforcement community. Tributes poured in across the state, and flags were lowered to half-staff in his honor. Deputy Jaramillo’s death is a stark reminder of the dangers officers face daily and the courage required to protect their communities.
