On Saturday, September 19th, just after midnight, Coral Gables Police Officer Christian Crespo, on routine patrol on Ponce de Leon Blvd, heard five gun shots near the intersection of Ponce de Leon Blvd and Miracle Mile. Officer Crespo secured the scene, found no injuries, interviewed witnesses.
A BOLO (Be On The Lookout) was sent out and at 1:30AM, Officer Vazquez, found Gonzalez who matched witness’ descriptions at the intersection of Valencia Avenue and Douglas Road.
Witnesses identified Gonzalez. CGPD was also able to corroborate witness accounts by using area video surveillance footage.
A canine search was conducted, but the .380 firearm used in the incident was not found.
Kudos to CGPD
Well done Officer Crespo.
