Anthony Scott, 24, of Homestead, Florida, was killed in the early hours of December 17, 2020, after an attempted robbery in South Miami-Dade. The officer returned fire and struck Anthony Scott in the neck. Scott was taken to Homestead Hospital and then Jackson South, where he died of his injuries.

Two other people were wounded: Najah McNear, 22, was hit in the leg and airlifted to Jackson Memorial’s Ryder Trauma Center in critical but stable condition, and a 30-year-old off-duty corrections officer had his hand grazed and was treated at the scene. Edward Clay was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, attempted armed robbery, and tampering with physical evidence; Joe Smith was charged with tampering with physical evidence and as an accessory after the fact after helping transport Anthony Scott to the hospital.

The investigation concluded the attempted robbery and ensuing shootout caused Anthony Scott’s death. Does anyone have information about the people present that night or about other possible witnesses?
