Authorities released surveillance video showing the moments before a fight broke out between two passengers riding a trolley.
The fight occurred near Northeast 29 Street and Biscayne Boulevard, around 2:30 p.m. Feb. 4.
Surveillance video shows one passenger was arguing with the driver, brandishing a knife before putting it away.
“Two gentlemen got into an argument inside the trolley,” said Miami Police Captain FC.
Detectives said 49-year-old ABB, wearing the bright shorts, was about to exit the trolley when he began arguing with the other passenger, a homeless man.
The driver tried calming the situation, but the other passenger, 46-year-old L C, started fighting Bruce.
C and B fell onto the trolley seats when, detectives said, C pulled the knife back out and stabbed Bruce several times.
Some passengers are seen running out of the trolley as the fight unfolds, while others rush towards the back to stay safe.
One witness, RS, said he saw Bruce collapse outside the trolley.
“I see everything, the commotion. The guy is just on the floor. This is before the police. I was able to see the man on the floor,” S said.
C was seen running from the trolley, still holding the knife in hand.
Miami Police shut down several blocks of Biscayne Boulevard as they investigated.
C was arrested a short time later.
Friends of the 49-year-old B lovingly called him “Nash”, who, they say, worked at a restaurant nearby and was a loving community member.
“He doesn’t have much family or friends. Just ask his co-workers, we are his family. He was loved to an extreme amount,” his co-worker M E said.
C is charged with second-degree murder.
