His back bleeding from a gunshot fired by a man whose jewelry store he had just robbed, the fleeing felon and his getaway driver were desperate to dump the conspicuous rental van with the rear window also shot out. They were on the run, and their next move would change the course of their lives forever.<\/p>\n
About a mile and a half from the Dec. 5, 2019 robbery, the duo stumbled upon a UPS truck delivering to homes. When driver Frank Ordonez finished his last delivery, they approached him \u2013 armed and carrying the loot from the robbery \u2013 and demanded he get in the back. From a home security system, one can hear one tell the other: \u201cGo ahead. Kill him, man. Kill him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ordonez obeyed and they drove off at 4:35 that afternoon. Exactly one hour later and 15 miles away, all three and a fourth man would be dead after a shootout with police in Miramar.<\/p>\n
The events that unfolded that day were a desperate attempt to escape justice. However, it ultimately ended in tragedy, with four lives lost. The incident serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of criminal activity and the bravery of law enforcement.<\/p>\n
The Miramar UPS shootout was a senseless act of violence that could have been avoided. It is a stark reminder of the importance of prioritizing safety and respecting the law. As we reflect on this tragic event, we must also acknowledge the bravery and sacrifice of those who put their lives on the line to protect and serve.<\/p>\n
