Five women and three men, ages 23 to 41, were struck after Crew allegedly opened fire after being denied entry into REBAR located in the 8000 block of Broadway. All are expected to recover from their injuries.
Members of the U.S. Marshals Service Florida Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force received information that Crew was staying at a hotel in Miami Thursday morning.
“It’s apparent that criminals don’t pay much attention to city limits, county and state lines or even the borders of the United States,” said U.S. Marshal and former Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau. “It’s the collaborative efforts and partnerships with state and local agencies that enable us to reduce violent crime across this nation.”
