Man accused of robbing woman near South Miami Market while armed, masked
SOUTH MIAMI, Fla. — A 34-year-old man was arrested in connection with an attempted armed robbery reported earlier this month near South Miami Market, police said.
The robbery occurred on Jan. 15 just after 10:30 a.m. near the 6700 block of Southwest 61st Street
Officers with the South Miami Police Department identified the suspect in an arrest report as Bobby Lathan Turner.
They said a woman reported she had just been robbed while taking out her garbage at an apartment complex near Southwest 66th Terrace and Southwest 59th Place.
The victim told officers she was walking back to her vehicle when an unknown man, who police identified as Turner, followed her from the dumpster area and demanded her purse while pointing an unknown object concealed in his pocket, causing her to fear he was armed.
Authorities said the victim attempted to call for help, but Turner forcibly took her cellphone to prevent a 911 call before grabbing her Louis Vuitton purse and fleeing on foot.
Using tracking data from the stolen phone, officers traced its location to a nearby residence.
Police said Turner was seen fleeing the home on foot while holding a bag and ignoring commands to stop. A K-9 search and aerial support were unable to locate him at the time.
Further investigation, including surveillance video from the apartment complex, showed Turner lingering in the area and hiding inside the dumpster enclosure before following the victim into a darkened area, according to the report.
Authorities said Turner was eventually taken into custody with the help of video evidence, tracking data, prior cases and officer identification.
They said Turner turned himself in to SMPD headquarters on Tuesday, was advised of his Miranda rights, and declined to answer questions.
Jail records show he is facing one count each of attempted armed robbery while wearing a mask, resisting an officer with violence, and misuse of 911 or emergency communications. He is also expected to face a probation violation warrant.
As of Wednesday, he was being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

An investigation is underway in Miami Gardens after police say a toddler was bitten in the face by two pit bulls on Tuesday.
Miami Garden police told CBS News Miami that officers responded to reports of a dog bite involving a child in the 3600 block of Northwest 191st Street just before 7 p.m.
When officers arrived, they said they were told that a 2-year-old was in the backyard of a home when he was bitten in the face by two pit bulls.
The child was rushed to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
No other information was released, and police said the incident remains under investigation.
What I would have done is taken my lumps and rolled with Ewers during the 2026 season. From my understanding, the reality of Willis’ deal is two years x 22.5M. After that, the Dolphins can part with him, no harm, no foul. Hiwever, don’t you think that the Dolphins could have used that money, considering their salary cap situation, in other areas? Yeah, to me, this is a textbook Steve Ross engineered deal where the Dolphins are bidding against themselves and hoping against hope that they’re not as bad as they’re predicted to be.
As for Willis, he reminds me of another ex-Green Bay QB named Matt Flynn. Like Willis, Flynn was the 2nd string QB at GB and shined in a couple of relief appearances for Aaron Rodgers during the 2011 season. He is best remembered in Green Bay for his record-setting 480-yard, 6-touchdown game in 2011 versus the Lions. That set him up for a big contract with Seattle, but he never really did anything there due to the emergence of Russell Wilson.
Former CBS News Miami anchor and longtime South Florida resident Eliott Rodriguez announced his candidacy for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 27th Congressional District on Tuesday morning.
He will now embark on a campaign that’s centered on lowering the high cost of living, restoring accountability in Washington, D.C., and bringing people together to deliver results for families in Miami-Dade, his campaign said in the announcement.
“I didn’t plan to run for Congress,” Rodriguez said in his announcement. “But I cannot stay silent. For 48 years, you trusted me to tell the truth and listen to your stories. Today, like so many families, I am concerned that Washington is not delivering for South Florida. My parents taught me that citizenship is not just a right – it is a responsibility. And now, I am answering that call.”
Why is Eliott Rodriguez running for Congress?
In his announcement, Rodriguez explained why he decided to run for Congress. He said the decision was deeply personal.
In recent months, he said he’s spoken with families, seniors, small business owners and young people who are struggling to afford to stay in a community they love.
“South Florida has now become one of the least affordable housing markets in the United States, with families here spending more of their income on rent and mortgages than almost anywhere in the country,” Rodriguez said in his announcement.
According to the campaign, Florida’s 27th Congressional District is widely viewed as one of the most competitive battlegrounds in the country.
In the race for Congress, Rodriguez will challenge incumbent María Elvira Salazar.
