Terrifying Armed Robbery Leads To Shootout, 4 Dead and 4 Officers Charged With Murder

A routine UPS delivery turned into a deadly ordeal in December 2019. Delivery driver Frank Ordonez was kidnapped by two fleeing felons, Ronnie Hill and Lamar Alexander, after a botched jewelry store robbery.

A high-speed police chase ensued, culminating in a shootout on Miramar Parkway. The incident resulted in the tragic deaths of Ordonez, Hill, Alexander, and a bystander, Richard Cutshaw.

Newly released evidence, including police body camera footage, reveals the chaotic scene and the split-second decisions made by officers. While some view the officers’ actions as justifiable self-defense, others argue that excessive force was used.

The incident raises questions about the use of deadly force by police, the impact of high-speed chases, and the accountability of law enforcement officers. The case is currently under legal scrutiny, with four Miami-Dade police officers facing manslaughter charges.
