Man Accused Of Killing Cousin, Shooting Grandfather & Aunt In Homestead

Miami-Dade Police said a 19-year-old man allegedly shot and killed his cousin and left his grandfather and aunt wounded, according to NBC 6.

The incident happened Saturday morning (March 6) in Homestead. Officers responded to a scene near the the 14000 block of Southwest 294th Street. Reports say 19-year-old Ruben Williams was arguing with his grandfather over the teen's marijuana use. That's when Williams allegedly opened fire on both his grandfather and aunt, police said.

Both victims suffered gunshot wounds and ran upstairs in the house before jumping out a window, according to authorities. Police claim Williams later went back downstairs and fatally shot his 27-year-old cousin Carlton Tillman several times.

"Police said Williams began shooting at his aunt outside the home and down the street before getting into a black Chevrolet Malibu driven by a woman at the scene and holding her at gunpoint, forcing her to drive for several hours and stealing both her cell phone and wedding ring," NBC 6 wrote.

Williams was later arrested on several charges, including second-degree murder, kidnapping, armed carjacking. He's still in custody as of Monday, March 8. The grandfather and aunt were reportedly airlifted to Jackson South Hospital in critical condition.
