Miami-Dade deputy shoots and injures a 15-year-old after a firearm threat call, authorities say
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting involving one of its deputies in southwest Miami-Dade.
Assistant Sheriff Fernand Charles Jr., speaking at a press conference, reported that at approximately 3:30 p.m., a call was received about a firearm threat at a park located at SW 216th Street and 113 Avenue.
When deputies responded, they found a group of four juveniles at SW 222nd Street and 112nd Avenue. According to Charles Jr., a confrontation ensued, and one of the deputies discharged his weapon, striking a 15-year-old boy.
The subject was grazed in the ankle, and he was transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue in stable condition, Charles Jr. said.
Charles Jr. added that police recovered a firearm with an extended clip near where the teen was struck.
The three other teenagers were taken into custody by police. It is unclear what charges they will face.

Jeff Hafley drops cold line about expectations for Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have gone full rebuild mode during the 2026 offseason. Miami hired Jeff Hafley at head coach and promptly gutted the roster of veteran talent, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins plan to completely rebuild the organization from the ground up, which includes installing a brand new culture.
Hafley dropped a cold line at the NFL’s Annual League Meeting about setting a standard for his team. He gave an example of expecting his to perform despite adversity, including Miami’s intense heat.
“We’re going to sit down and have that conversation, and then don’t get mad at me when it’s 110 degrees and you don’t feel like doing it anymore,” Hafley said per team transcripts. “I’m going to make you do it because you told me when you were comfortable in this meeting room, in air conditioning, that that’s what you wanted and I’m going to remind you of that.”
Hafley wants his coaching staff to follow his lead, holding players accountable during practice sessions. If the Dolphins truly want to be a great team, that could be a necessary step.
“It’s going to be a shared vision and then my job and our job as coaches is to hold them to that, because if you’re telling me you want to be up here and be this great, OK, well this is what we’re going to do,” Hafley added.
One reason why Hafley’s approach could be smart is because Miami is about to add a ton of young talent.
Miami gained the 30th overall pick after trading Jaylen Waddle, giving them two first-round picks in April’s draft. The Dolphins will enter the draft with 11 total picks, allowing them to install the foundation of their roster for years to come.
It will be exciting to see Miami’s new culture take shape under Hafley’s leadership.

No. 22 Kentucky Outlasts Miami University in Wild Affair
Kentucky drew 11 walks, took seven hit by pitch and found a way to do just enough to outlast a Miami University team with a strong offense, registering a 14-11 victory in front of 3,733 fans enjoying the 80 degree weather at Kentucky Proud Park.
Kentucky now is 22-6 overall and 5-4 in the Southeastern Conference.
Four different players drove in multiple runs, five had multiple hits and five drew a hit by pitch as the No. 22 Wildcats figured out a way to claim their 22nd victory of the season. The Cats erased deficits of 3-1 and 10-7 along the way with three more innings of at least three runs scored, including a six-run fourth inning.
Hudson Brown, Carson Hansen and Will Marcy each drove in three runs, Ethan Hindle reached base in five plate appearances without logging a single official at bat, Jayce Tharnish swiped his 19th base and Luke Lawrence extended his reached base streak to 33 games.
On the flip side, the UK pitching staff did not have its best outing but Nile Adcock was sensational in pitching the final 2.2 innings. He escaped a bases loaded situation in the seventh inning but striking out a pair of hitters on six total pitches after entering the game and earned his second win.
