Man arrested after victim shot in back outside Miami-Dade grocery store

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A 25-year-old man was arrested over the weekend following a shooting outside a Miami-Dade County grocery store in which one person was severely injured.

According to the suspect’s arrest report, the shooting occurred just after 2:45 a.m. Saturday outside Davis Grocery, located at 21630 SW 120th Ave.

Miami-Dade police said officers responded to the area after receiving two ShotSpotter notifications.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found more than 100 spent casings in the roadway and the victim, Tristum Hobbs, laying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his back.

Hobbs was then transported to Jackson South Medical Center in critical condition.

According to the report, a nearby home was also struck by at least one bullet, which entered a bedroom where a woman and her daughter were sleeping.

Police said surveillance video was obtained from the grocery store, which showed a white sedan and a black sedan heading north on Southwest 120th Avenue before coming to a stop at the intersection of 216th Street.

Police said people from both vehicles then began shooting at the victim who was standing near the intersection.

According to the report, officers later located the black car, which was parked at the Princeton Groves Apartments.

“The vehicle had damage consistent with gunshots to the roof and to the front of the vehicle,” the report stated.

Police said a detective conducted surveillance on the vehicle and detained the suspect, Glenn Roy Cassis Jr., of Miami, as he was getting out of the car at about 5:50 a.m.

Cassis had a Glock 17 with an extended magazine in his waistband, authorities said.

According to the report, Cassis was taken to the police station for questioning and provided an admission of some kind, which was redacted from the publicly released report.

Police confirmed, however, that Cassis denied firing a gun.

Cassis was arrested on charges of attempted murder, shooting or throwing a deadly missile, discharging a firearm from a vehicle and use of a firearm while committing a felony.

As of Monday morning, Cassis was being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

It’s unclear how many people remain at large.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
