00:00We are now seeing surveillance and body camera footage. You're watching here with us of a deadly shooting and involved
00:05a suspected armed shoplifter and a deputy. This did happen last November outside of a Walmart store in South Dixie
00:12Highway. Yeah, NBC6's Lorena Anclan is live from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office with more. And Lorena, why is the
00:18video being released now?
00:22Well, Joanne, according to Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz, she says that it's important to show this video. She knows that
00:28this generates a lot of questions in the community. She was actually there at that incident after it happened to
00:34speak to the media about it. And she says that the public has a right to see critical incidents involving
00:40law enforcement. Before we show you the rest of this video, though, we want to warn you that some of
00:45the images may be distressing to some viewers.
00:48What started as a shoplifting call at a Walmart on US 1 near Southwest 117th Avenue on November 6, 2025,
00:56quickly escalated into a deadly confrontation. As a deputy approached a 36-year-old man named Kennedy Graham, video shows
01:07him running away, then fighting with the deputy. The deputy's body-worn camera comes flying off during the struggle.
01:13The fight continues for about a minute as the deputy repeatedly tells the man to stop resisting.
01:19Stop resisting! Stop resisting!
01:22Then you see Graham break free and start running.
01:25Stop!
01:28Shortly after, you hear three gunshots. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office paused and highlighted a gun in Graham's right hand
01:36as he tried to run away.
01:37Surveillance video from the Walmart store appears to show Graham grabbing a gun during the fight.
01:43In the distance, the sheriff's office highlighted at least two innocent bystanders close to the incident as Graham ran away
01:50armed.
01:51The footage ends with the deputy raising his service weapon and firing three times.
01:58Now, we do know that an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is underway, but the sheriff says
02:05that it's important for people to see the sequence of events as they unfolded in this incident.
02:11And NBC6 did reach out to a family member of the man who was shot in the video, and we
02:16are still waiting a response from them.
02:18As soon as we hear back, we'll update you.
