MIAMI, Florida – Rafael Guevara appears in court on charges of attempted murder and discharging a firearm in a public place in Medley.
Guevara just three days ago left the hospital after undergoing open heart surgery after being stabbed several times, but according to the Medley police version, he and Yoan Pino Cruz, the victim in this case, knew each other previously and They had agreed to meet at a truck parking lot located at 8720 Northwest 91st Street in Medley on April 16. However, what began as a seemingly friendly encounter soon turned into a violent confrontation that culminated in a shooting.
Everything was captured on a video, in which you can clearly see how Guevara, after realizing that he has been stabbed, takes a firearm and shoots at Pino Cruz’s truck, while he tries to flee the scene. This act, according to police, makes Guevara the aggressor rather than the victim.
The version of events presented by Medley police paints a conflict that escalated quickly and led to extreme violence. Although both Guevara and Pino Cruz were injured in the incident, authorities say that Guevara, becoming the aggressor after being stabbed, must face legal consequences.
“He went from being a victim to an aggressor at the moment when Pino Cruz was fleeing the scene. That’s when he (Guevara) armed himself with a gun, ran and started shooting without taking any precautions about the people who were in the area.” area,” said Medley police spokesperson Deglys Chavarría.
