Police sources identify woman accused of shooting at boyfriend as retired MDPD lieutenantWPLG Local 10

Miami-Dade police have detained a woman who they said shot at her boyfriend Thursday night in southwest Miami-Dade.

According to police, officers responded to the area of Southwest 282nd Street and 167th Avenue just before 6:30 p.m. after receiving reports of a shooting.

Police said officers discovered that a woman shot at her boyfriend, but struck his vehicle instead.

No injuries were reported.

The woman then fled the scene and barricaded herself at another home in the area of Southwest 174th Street and 142nd Place, where she remained until being taken into custody Friday afternoon, authorities said.

Sky 10 was above the scene where a car could be seen crashed into the front of the home.

Multiple law enforcement sources identified the woman accused in the shooting as retired Miami-Dade police Lt. Evelyn Fernandez.

Back in 2016, charges were dropped against Fernandez, who was accused of breaking into the Coral Gables home of her ex-boyfriend, former Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez.

In that case, Coral Gables police said a witness saw Fernandez in the pool area of the building on Merrick Way, hitting a rear window of the apartment with a floor tile and then throwing the tile into the pool.

Police said there was no forced entry into the apartment, and Fernandez does not have a key to the property.

Fernandez claimed to be at the home to pick up her belongings, police said.
