MIAMI (WSVN) - Just over a year after a police-involved shooting killed an innocent woman while she was out celebrating her birthday, her family is now suing authorities for, what they say, was reckless actions.
Evelyn Valdes, 28, was driving near Northwest First Place and 23rd Street in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood on June 14, 2025 on a night out for her birthday. Around the same time, authorities responded to reports of a fight outside of a Wynwood club.
Miami Police said they were forced to open fire on an armed man, later identified as Norman Lindo Jr., in the area. Valdes was killed in the crossfire.
A year later, Valdes’ family is now suing the police department for their actions that led to her death that night.
