While Fernandez missed, she hit her ex-boyfriend’s car. After fleeing the scene, she barricaded herself inside the residence of her daughter’s boyfriend in Richmond West, Miami-Dade County while her family members were inside.
After a 14-hour standoff, Fernandez was taken into custody on October 27, 2023. She was charged with attempted first-degree murder, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, shooting or throwing a deadly missile, resisting an officer with violence and battery of a law enforcement officer.
