As part of standard protocol for police-involved shootings, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is set to spearhead the ensuing probe, as confirmed by NBC Miami.

The FDLE, taking control over the investigation aligns with standard practices such that an external body reviews actions involving police use of force, this move, though procedural, yet serves as a reminder of the gravity and often contentious nature of police-involved fatalities "At some point, police were forced to fire and killed the individual," Hialeah police stated, a stark account of the abrupt cessation of a human life now under the microscope of public scrutiny and legal examination.
