00:00Now we have new video tonight of a Miami-Dade Sheriff's Deputy as he shoots an alleged shoplifter.
00:05It happened during a confrontation inside a Southwest Miami-Dade Walmart.
00:09CBS News, Miami's Yvonne Taylor, as you reported live on the scene with the tale of the tape for us
00:13in this one, Yvonne.
00:16Yes, Jim, so that man was actually shot in the parking lot of the store.
00:21According to Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, they were notified that a man was allegedly shoplifting at this Walmart in Southwest
00:28Miami-Dade.
00:29So they said that they saw him as he was walking through the aisles of the store, and that's when
00:33they were notified.
00:34So what you're going to see now is when one of the deputies tries to stop him as he's exiting
00:39the store.
00:42The man in the white shirt was identified as 36-year-old Kennedy Graham.
00:46Body cam video of a Miami-Dade deputy shows the suspect running away.
00:51A confrontation ensued.
00:53Police say the deputy called for backup as he attempted to detain Graham.
00:58Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office slowed motioned this image to show the man was armed when the deputy tried to stop
01:04him.
01:05Let's take you back to Walmart surveillance video when Kennedy Graham was inside the store.
01:10You see him walking through the aisles.
01:12Police say that's when loss prevention staff observed the suspect allegedly stealing.
01:17According to police, Graham walked towards the exit of the store.
01:21When a camera from the loss prevention department captured him, that's when the deputy went after him.
01:26This is surveillance video outside the store.
01:29The suspect is seen wrestling the deputy.
01:31The video was formatted in slow motion to show a sequence of the struggle before it turned deadly.
01:37The deputy pinned him down, held him by the neck with his legs.
01:40Graham fought back.
01:41He dropped the gun, and you see him fleeing, holding his firearm.
01:45That's when the deputy pointed at Kennedy Graham and shot him.
01:49Two people were in the parking lot when it happened.
01:51It was the morning of November 6, 2025.
01:53The location of the store, 21115 South Dixie Highway.
01:58Our colleague, Peter Dench, talked to a witness.
02:01What I saw was some guy in a white t-shirt was running outside of the Walmart parking lot.
02:05I heard three shots.
02:06You heard three shots.
02:07And then all I saw was the police officer with a gun.
02:09On November 6, Miami-Dade Sheriff's Rosie Cordero-Stutt justified the actions of the deputy.
02:15I will say this.
02:16This individual had an extensive criminal past.
02:19We're grateful at this time due to the circumstances that could have gone so much worse.
02:24Police also showed a weapon they say Kennedy Graham was carrying that morning.
02:30I must say that nobody else was injured on that day,
02:34and the deputy who shot the individual was never identified.
02:38Now, Miami-Dade Sheriff, she wrote today, quote,
02:42We recognize that incidents of this nature raise questions and concerns within our community,
02:47and I believe the public has the right to see critical incidents involving law enforcement agents.
02:54We're live in Southwest Miami-Dade.
