James Andrew Lawrence, 64, was killed by gunfire on April 5, 2018, in Miami. Officers from the Northside District encountered him about 9:55 p.m. at NW 87th Street and NW 12th Avenue after he ran toward them suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Despite first aid from officers and transport by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, he died at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center.

Detectives say Lawrence was shot multiple times. They identified Terrance W. Byrd, born November 8, 1983, as the primary suspect and released surveillance footage while asking the public for help; Byrd was considered armed and dangerous. Investigators cited witness statements and video evidence in building the case. Motive has not been reported.
