A Miami man is behind bars, charged with attempted second-degree murder after police say he shot a man in the face, during a violent confrontation in a Medley truck yard. According to Local 10, the incident unfolded on the afternoon of April 16, when Rafael Antonio Guevara, 35, allegedly fired at Yoan Pino Cruz, following an altercation between the two men.

The Medley Police Department responded to the scene near the intersection of 91st Street and 87th Avenue, where they found Pino Cruz bleeding from a gunshot wound next to his white dump truck. Concurrently, Guevara was discovered with multiple stab wounds to his abdomen in the truck yard's parking lot, as reported by NBC Miami. Both men survived the violent exchange, with Pino Cruz being transported to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital and Guevara requiring open heart surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center.

Surveillance footage revealed Guevara grabbing a pistol from his vehicle and shooting at Cruz as he drove away in his dump truck. The shots fired by Guevara went through the passenger window of the truck, striking Cruz in the face. Subsequently, Guevara's statement to police was deemed "in contradiction with the CCTV footage obtained," indicating a discrepancy between his account and the visual evidence, as reported by NBC Miami.

Investigators are still piecing together the background leading up to the confrontation, with details about their relationship and the circumstances of their meeting at the truck yard remaining unclear. Guevara, who also suffered a stab wound on his forearm and other lacerations, is currently being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. The case is ongoing as authorities continue their investigation, searching for further details regarding the motives, and the events that precipitated the violent encounter, according to Local 10.
