Miami Beach Police: NFL Player Hits, Kills Pedestrian

MIAMI — Miami Beach police said Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth hit and killed a pedestrian with his Bentley Saturday morning on the McArthur causeway.

 

Police said Stallworth was headed toward the beach when he hit a 49-year-old man around 7 a.m.

 

The victim was near a crosswalk, but it’s not clear if he was crossing legally.

 

Stallworth, 28, was cooperating, and no charges have been filed.

 

Officers drew blood to test for drugs or alcohol, which is routine, but police said it was too early to tell if Stallworth was impaired or violating traffic laws.

 

Stallworth owns two condos in Miami not far from the McArthur causeway.

 

Stallworth signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns as a free agent before last season.

Murder-suicide leaves 5 people dead in Miami

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) — A man shot and killed four people before turning the gun on himself in Miami, Florida, early Sunday morning, police said.

Police tape cordons off a home in Miami, Florida, after police responded early Sunday to reports of shots fired.

Police responding to reports of gunshots shortly after midnight found four bodies behind a house.

Witnesses told officers they saw a pickup truck leave the area.

Soon afterward, 911 dispatchers received a call about a vehicle and a house in flames, followed by the sounds of gunshots, police said.

At the scene, police found a man dead of a gunshot wound.

The four bodies found behind the house have been identified as the gunman’s estranged wife, the wife’s daughter, the daughter’s boyfriend, and the boyfriend’s grandmother, according to CNN affiliate WPLG in Miami.

“Based on the evidence, detectives have determined the findings at both locations to be consistent with a murder-suicide and possibly domestic related,” a statement released by police said.
