Search on for man accused of shooting at driver in Pinecrest

Man wanted for attempted murder

MIAMI - Pinecrest police are looking for a man they say lured another man to a neighborhood only to end up shooting at him. Now, he is wanted for attempted murder.

Surveillance cameras captured police driving through the area near Southwest 128th Street and 82nd Avenue.

Police are warning residents the suspect, Jeffrey Chamorro, 31, could be armed and dangerous.

Authorities believe Chamorro is responsible for firing five rounds into a driver's front side door. The victim was not hurt.

Investigators say Chamorro lured his victim to this location a few weeks ago. Detectives say he found flirtatious texts between his girlfriend, who sells solar equipment, and a client. 

Police say Chamorro led the victim to believe he would be meeting that girlfriend in Pinecrest. Instead, Chamorro shot at the victim's pickup.

Area resident Paula Hemlock saw what happened next.

"All of a sudden a little silver car pulls up, rolls down the window and the next thing I know, I hear three gunshots and the grey car pulls out into 128 Street, the truck goes after him... slams into him one time, slams into him twice. At that point, I'm on the phone to 911."

Detectives say they had arranged for Chamorro to surrender, but he never did.

He was last seen driving this grey Cadillac SUV.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact the Pinecrest Police Department or Miami-Dade Crimestoppers at (305) 471-8477.
