In the early light of October 28, 2025, Abdul Rolle, 50, a Black man, was found gravely wounded near Northwest 27th Avenue and NW 45th Street in Miami after a ShotSpotter alert brought deputies to the scene. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue transported him to a local hospital, where he died despite lifesaving efforts. Detectives opened a homicide investigation and initially reported no known motive or suspect while canvassing for witnesses and surveillance outside the 461 Smoke Shop, where crime scene markers dotted the pavement.

Reporters noted a man and a woman were placed into cruisers for questioning as the sheriff’s office confirmed Rolle’s identity and death. Days later authorities tied the shooting to a confrontation over the quality of drugs at the smoke shop and identified 32-year-old Desma Shaiann Flanders as the suspect, who faced a second-degree murder charge. Detectives continue to seek details that clarify the moments leading to the fatal shot.

Does anyone who was in that block on the morning of October 28 have information or surveillance that could help investigators?
