Devin Smith, 28, was fatally shot on May 16, 2020, while riding a scooter near Perrine, Miami. Surveillance video and ShotSpotter audio show a black Toyota Camry stop, the driver exit with a gun, and fire multiple shots at Smith as he rode in the opposite direction; Smith was struck, fell, and was fired on again. A detective confirmed a weapon was later recovered on Smith’s person, after it had been removed from the scene before officers arrived.

Daishun Doctor was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. His defense argued he acted in self-defense, claiming Smith pulled a gun while riding the scooter; prosecutors questioned the likelihood of that scenario. Doctor lost a stand your ground immunity hearing, but at trial the jury reviewed the surveillance video and audio and, after roughly two hours of deliberation, acquitted him, accepting his self-defense claim.

Are there witnesses or additional footage from the Perrine area on May 16, 2020, that could shed more light on what happened?
