Miami-Dade detectives released the identity of a 22-year-old woman on Sunday who Florida Highway Patrol troopers found dead on Saturday morning along an Interstate 95 northbound ramp.
According to the Miami-Dade Police Department, N C, also known as N V C, was set to celebrate her 23 birthdays on Dec. 29. The troopers found her dead after responding to reports of two people arguing at about 6 a.m., along I-95, police said.
Troopers closed the ramp at Northeast 203 Street, better known as Ives Dairy Road. A yellow tarp covered her naked body on the grass. There were pieces of clothing nearby
A CRASH IN BROWARD
Hours later, there was a police pursuit on Interstate 75 and a crash on Saturday afternoon near the Miami-Dade-Broward boundary.
According to the Miramar Police Department, there was a two-vehicle crash and one person was injured at Miramar Parkway and Red Road. A witness video showed a Miami-Dade police car at the scene. Miramar police officers referred questions about a homicide suspect to MDPD.
Lt. Luis J. S, a spokesman for MDPD, did not connect the crash in Miramar with the woman dead on I-95.
“We have not formally charged anyone,” Sierra wrote in an e-mail.
STATE AND COUNTY RECORDS
Broward Sheriff’s Office inmate records show Miramar police officers arrested L P on Saturday and correctional deputies booked him at the main jail in Fort Lauderdale where he remained on Sunday afternoon facing charges of failing to stop or at the scene of an accident and aggravated fleeing.
According to the Florida Department of Corrections, Pion, 29, is a convicted felon who was last released from prison in 2019. S did not confirm if Pion was connected to C’s case and Miramar police did not confirm if he was involved in the crash at Miramar Parkway and Red Road.
The investigations were ongoing on Sunday evening. Inmate records show P also faced charges of resisting an officer and two counts of probation violations. The three charges were non-bondable offenses. Records also show P has a criminal record in Broward and St. John counties.
Meanwhile, Miami-Dade court records showed C had an arrest record and a pending criminal case. The records show she was 18 years old when police officers arrested her for misdemeanor petit theft in Aventura and 19 years old when police officers arrested her for a misdemeanor battery in Miami.
Her Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitations mugshots were archived on social media and several sites included it with her date of birth, middle name, and dates matching the court record. Prosecutors dropped both cases.
Court records show police officers arrested C again on Aug. 12 in Miami accusing her of misdemeanor petit theft, and she was supposed to have a status hearing on Dec. 18 before Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge M B.
C did not have an arrest record in Broward County.
ONGOING INVESTIGATION
Standing near where troopers found C dead, S said on Saturday that Miami-Dade detectives on the case needed the public’s help.
“If you were driving northbound this morning at around 6 in the morning and you saw two people on the side of the road, please call 305-4-POLICE and try to help us solve this,” S said referencing the department’s non-emergency line, 305-476-5423.
Detectives asked anyone with information about these or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 and Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
