Det. Jennifer Capote of the Miami-Dade Police Department said in a statement that officers were dispatched Wednesday evening to a report of a woman who had been kidnapped by an estranged domestic partner.

The officers found the vehicle in a wooded area. The statement says a K-9 officer was searching the area when he was confronted by the suspect, who pointed a shotgun toward him.
The officer shot the suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
