The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating a deputy-involved shooting involving the Miami‑Dade Sheriff’s Office that left a 15-year-old male injured on April 2.
According to authorities, at approximately 3:34 p.m., South District deputies responded to a park near SW 113 Avenue and SW 216 Street in Miami following reports of threats involving a firearm.
Deputies were provided with descriptions of the suspects and conducted an area canvas. Officers later located several males matching the descriptions in the area of SW 112 Court and SW 221 Street. During the encounter, one of the subjects reportedly brandished a firearm, prompting a deputy to discharge his service weapon, striking the individual.
The subject, identified as 15-year-old Cournelious Lamont Comer, was grazed on the ankle and transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to Jackson South Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition. Authorities reported no other injuries.
Investigators later identified two juveniles in connection with the incident. Comer, born February 26, 2011, has been charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm, possession of a firearm by a minor, and resisting an officer without violence.
A second suspect, 17-year-old Phil Phillips, born May 28, 2008, faces charges of tampering with physical evidence while armed, carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a firearm by a minor, and resisting an officer without violence.
Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing.
