$5K reward offered after car set on fire during Miami-Dade street takeover: Sheriff

Authorities are searching for a man who they said set a car on fire during a street takeover in Miami-Dade last month.

Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office officials said they launched an arson investigation following the Dec. 28 street takeover at the intersection of Northwest 95th Street and Northwest 17th Avenue.

During the incident, a vehicle with no hood and no doors was seen on multiple social media videos being driven by an unknown person, the sheriff’s office said.

At one point, the vehicle, a white 2017 Dodge Shelby Charger, was set on fire by a man investigators are trying to identify.

The sheriff’s office on Monday released a flyer with images of the man, who they said was wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt with a picture of a “Venom” on the back, dark colored pants and red/black/white shoes.

A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest, and anyone with info is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
