2 arrested after men robbed of Rolex watches at gunpoint in Miami

MIAMI – Miami police arrested two men Monday who they said robbed two other men of their Rolex watches.

Gelbinson Daniel Lugo, 22, and Oneal Jose Uribe, 30, both of Miami, face armed robbery charges.

Uribe also faces an additional charge of carrying a concealed firearm.

According to the suspects’ arrest reports, the victims were getting into their vehicle just after 3 a.m. on April 7 when they were approached by three Hispanic men, who were armed with guns.

Police said the robbers demanded the victims’ Rolex watches.

When one victim resisted, one of the robbers struck him with their gun, police said.

According to the arrest reports, the trio ended up taking the other victim’s watch before they fled in a waiting vehicle.

Detectives later discovered that immediately prior to the robbery, the people in the “offending vehicle” had met up with Uribe, who was driving a 2018 white Porsche Macan.

Police said he then followed the vehicle to the scene of the robbery, where they waited for the victims.

“Both vehicles take up surveillance positions where the vehicle that the victims were getting into was visible to them,” Uribe’s arrest report stated. “The defendant can be seen leaving the scene in his vehicle along with the offending vehicle immediately following the robbery.”

According to Uribe’s arrest report, he was pulled over in the Porsche Monday and was wearing a Rolex that didn’t have a serial number on it. A gun was also located inside the vehicle, authorities said.

Police said Uribe waived his Miranda rights and identified himself in surveillance video shown to him by detectives. Police said he claimed that he purchased the Rolex from “someone in the street” for $6,000.

Police said Lugo also waived his rights and identified himself in the video.

As of Tuesday afternoon, both men were being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center where their bonds had yet to be set.

Police did not immediately confirm whether they captured the third suspect in the case.

Ole Miss S Nick Cull’s targeting call reversed vs Miami in Peach Bowl

Mississippi football’s Nick Cull avoided an ejection during the College Football Playoff Fiesta Bowl semifinal on Thursday, Jan. 8.

As Malachi Toney reeled in a catch from Carson Beck at the Miami 49 in the first quarter, he was hit by Cull in a helmet-to-helmet collision. Right away, the officials flagged Cull for targeting, with both Toney and Cull staying down on the field with an injury.

After officials reviewed the play, the call on the field was overturned, as the officials determined that Cull did not launch and the collision seemed to be incidental. Replay assistant Matt Austin concurred with the call on the field.

The play had a major impact on the game as well. If the call had been upheld, Miami would have had the ball at the Ole Miss 34-yard line with a chance to expand its 3-0 lead. However, a few plays later, the Hurricanes were forced to punt from the 49-yard line.

On the first play of the second quarter, Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacey scored on a 73-yard run to give the Rebels a 7-3 lead.

Because he was not called for targeting, Cull was not ejected from the game, which means Ole Miss will have him for the remainder of the game, if he can clear the concussion protocol. He was in the tent following the play.

Cull has 15 total tackles and three pass deflections this season for the Rebels.

Meanwhile, Toney went to the medical tent briefly for the Hurricanes, but returned to the game.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on the forced turnovers: “That is and has to be our identity. We have to play with a recklessness and activity level that exceeds our opponent, and thats not to put down our talent level or anything like that, it’s more about we look different when we’re flying around and making plays and making it tough for the opponent.”
