A Miami Homicide Detective stands next to a truck belonging to a man who fled after shooting his ex-wife and then killing himself as police closed in on him at 3941 NW 13st. The ex-wife was shot at 3127 NW 13 street and was taken to Ryder Trauma center.
A man fatally shot his ex-wife, drove away in a truck and then shot himself Wednesday afternoon after being confronted by police, authorities said.
Miami police said the man -- who was not immediately identified -- had gone to a residence in the 3100 block of Northwest 13th Street about 1 p.m. When his ex-wife came to the door, the man shot multiple bullets through the door, wounding the woman.
The woman, who was not identified, called police. She was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center, in critical condition. She died several hours later.
Miami police tracked the gunman to a home in the 3900 block of Northwest 13th Street, where they tried to arrest him in a driveway. The man got out out of the car and shot himself in front of police.
Police said the man had been divorced from his wife for about 20 years, and that they had not determined the motive for the shooting.
