Man shot Dead at Dadeland Mall in Armored Truck Robbery

An armored car driver was fatally shot inside a clothing store at Dadeland Mall Monday morning during a robbery, Miami-Dade police said.

Police have issued a bulletin to officers to hunt for a white 2000 Lincoln sedan, Florida tag L83AY. Two men carrying a moneybag had fled in the car.

One suspect was a thin, black, 5-foot-10, with a black hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, boots and a silver handgun. The other had a heavier build and wore a blueish hoodie.

Miami-Dade homicide detectives are now investigating.

A red Dunbar armored car sat outside the store at the Kendall mall's south side. The mall had re-opened Monday except for the area around the The Limited and Express stores.

''Our hearts and prayers go out to the victim, his family and friends. We have no further information at this time,'' mall officials said in a prepared statement.

Police and paramedics arrived at the mall shortly after the shooting, which occured at about 11:15 a.m.

Police sealed off both of the mall's North Kendall Drive entrances, and mall employees said the mall was on lock-down.

Police reported that both men were seen fleeing a store with a money bag.

Joanne Brown was inside the Limited doing Christmas shopping when she heard shots sound from the Express store next door.

''It was eight shots. I heard them all. It was very scary. I'm still shaken up,'' said Brown, who was supposed to fly home to the Cayman Islands Monday afternoon.

She had to wait inside yellow police tape to be interviewed by investigators. At 12:15, she gave her report and was allowed to go home, her bag of Limited goods in tow.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman Lt. Eddy Ballester said that more than 25 firefighters were at the mall, ready to treat anyone injured.

The man who was shot was transported by air rescue to the Ryder Trauma Center, and another person was treated by paramedics. He lated died at the hospital, authorities said.
