MIAMI, FL – The Miami-Dade police department is investigating a shooting that took place at 98 Avenue SW 50 Street, in Miami. According to authorities, on Wednesday, May 19 at approximately 11:05 pm, the suspect, later identified as Jonathan Clemente, 23, of Miami, tracked his ex-girlfriend by what is still considered to be “unknown means” and “ambushed” the couple, opening fire with a semi-automatic handgun, striking both her and her new boyfriend who were both still sitting in a vehicle in the driveway.
