The man accused of torching a Miami police patrol car during last monthās protest against police brutality has died in the hospital after authorities said he suffered an āunrelated medical episode.ā
The FBI and police detectives, on June 8, initially released a still photo of the tattooed suspect accused of torching one of the cars.Ā They said they did not know that five days earlier, on the night of June 3, Fernandez had approached police officers in North Beach while āacting erratically and making several random statements.ā
Police officers āattempted to detainā Fernandez and he began āactively resisting the officers from securing him for his safety,ā Rodriguez said in a statement. How officers subdued Fernandez was unclear (why is this unknown??), but Miami Beach Fire Rescue responded to the scene and he was admitted to the hospital under the Baker Act.
While being baker acted at Mount Sinai Hospital, police say an employee recognized Fernandez after seeing him on FBI flyers and alerted them.
The cause of Fernandezās death is unknown by police (yeah right), but Floridaās Department of Law Enforcement has been asked to investigate.
