MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Miami-Dade police have asked the public for help in finding two men who robbed a man at gunpoint in front of two children.
It happened May 28th just after 5 p.m.
Andres Durant, 29, was in a car parked at 7301 NW 32nd Avenue when a white van pulled up in front of him and blocked their path. In the car with Durant were two children, 10- year old Aneylis Durant and 7-year old Abdiel Durant, and 51-year old Lucio Martinez.
