New bodycam videos show fatal deputy shootout with Miami-Dade double murder suspect
New body camera footage shows Miami-Dade deputies fatally shooting an armed man suspected in a double murder outside a food truck last year.
The footage obtained by NBC6 on Tuesday shows the April 7, 2025 encounter with the suspect at the Extended Stay America on Northwest 7th Street in the Blue Lagoon neighborhood in northwest Miami-Dade.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said deputies tried to arrest the man as he got in his vehicle but they were “met with an exchange of gunfire.”
The footage shows multiple deputies arriving and opening fire on the suspect in the vehicle before approaching his vehicle with guns drawn.
“He’s still moving,” a deputy says in the footage, as the man can be seen slumped over in the driver’s seat of the vehicle that was riddled with bullets.
Eventually, deputies moved in with a shield and found the man dead. The video shows a deputy removing a handgun from inside the vehicle.
The man was later identified as as 70-year-old Luis Montero Moncada, who went by “El Colombiano.”
Officials said the suspect refused deputies’ commands and fired at them several times before the deputies opened fire.
Montero Moncada was a suspect in a shooting earlier in the day that took the lives of 27-year-old Jeankerly Maria Linares Marin and a man identified by friends as Marlon Lopez.
Family and friends said Linares worked at La Nueva Alameda restaurant and cafeteria on Northwest 27th Avenue in Miami where she met the suspect, who they said started obsessing over her.
Linares’ coworkers said he was sitting inside the restaurant the day before he allegedly shot her, where he spent at least four hours before leaving.
Surveillance footage showed Linares was shot at point-blank range while having a meal at a food truck on Northwest 27th Avenue and 30th Street. Lopez was also killed by the gunfire.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated the shooting of Montero Moncada along with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office and it was determined that the three deputies who opened fire were justified in the shooting.
