The video, recorded from Miami Police Officer Dorian Acosta’s perspective, begins in silence. A sergeant can be seen firing, followed by gunfire that fatally wounds Norman Lindo Jr., according to the footage description.

Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office investigators concluded that the officers’ use of deadly force was legally justified, according to a memo released in October 2026. The office said Lindo was brandishing a firearm in a crowded area and did not comply when officers told him to drop it.

The memo identified the officers as Sergeants Jose Cabrera and Javier Herbello and Officer Acosta. It said they opened fire after encountering Lindo outside the club following an altercation. Lindo was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Evelyn Valdés, 28, was in the back seat of a car leaving the area when she was struck by a bullet. She was celebrating her birthday and later died at a hospital. The club’s manager was also hit by gunfire but survived.

The state attorney’s memo said officers reasonably believed that they or other people nearby faced a threat of death or serious injury. No charges were filed against the officers.

Valdés’ mother, Kristy “Dee” Garcia, has sued the officers and the city, alleging excessive force, wrongful death and negligence. Garcia said the state attorney’s decision would not end her effort to seek answers about her daughter’s death.

Ramon Rasco, an attorney for Valdés’ family, said the family was disappointed that the decision not to charge the officers came before the family received investigative files. He said the lack of transparency had deepened their concerns.

Two of the three officers returned to full duty two weeks after the shooting. The third was reassigned to the department’s real-time crime center.
