A man is facing felony charges after investigators say he attempted to run a cyclist off the road and then opened fire on him during a confrontation in Cutler Bay, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.
Raimero Rios, 40, was arrested in connection with the incident, which happened around 7:30 a.m. Saturday at SW 87th Avenue and 184th Lane.
According to investigators, Rios, driving a black SUV, attempted to run one of the bikers off the road. A verbal altercation ensued, during which Rios drew a pistol and fired at the rider before leaving.
All of this was captured on camera and posted to social media by Only in Dade.
The arrest document adds that “following the collision, the defendant brandished a firearm and discharged a round in the direction of victim 2.”
The cyclist was not hit, and no injuries were recorded.
Rios then left the scene.
Rios was recognized and arrested on Monday after further investigation by detectives.
Rios is charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, aggravated violence with a deadly weapon, and discharging a handgun from a vehicle.
Rios was granted a $15,000 bond in court on Tuesday and has already posted it. He was also instructed to remain away from the victims.
He is scheduled to be released on bond early Wednesday morning.
