Assistant State Attorney Investigation into the
Death of Jose Reyes Bermudez
SAO # 62/18121 8/005
MBPD 2018-120185

FACTUAL OVERVIEW
At approximately 10:02 a.m. on December 1 8, 2018, 91 1 dispatchers received several calls
seeking police assistance for a shooting and car accident that originated at "South Beach Finest Hand
Car Wash" located at 1229 18th Street, Miami Beach, FL. The various callers sought police assistance
because of a shooting and a car that crashed into the side of a building in the side of a building and
became embedded therein.

The salient facts are as follows: A man later known as Jose Antonio Reyes Bermudez, B/M 58
DOB 1 1/11/1960 (hereinafter Mr. Reyes Bermudez), entered a white 2016 Mercedes G53 SUV by
forcing his way in against a carwash employee's will. That SUV had been brought to the car wash by
Stephen Allen Lott, B/M 48 DOB 06/23/1970 (hereinafter Mr. Lott). Mr. Lott was not the owner of the
white Mercedes SUV but employed by the owners. On the date in question, the white Mercedes SUV
was in the custody of Mr. Lott for him to have it washed. As Mr. Reyes Bermudez sped out of the
carwash stall towards 18 th street driving the white Mercedes SUV, in an attempt to escape with the
vehicle, Mr. Lott ran outside and tried to stop the Mercedes SUV. As he stepped into the path of the
Mercedes SUV to try to stop it, he fired two shots at the driver's door as the vehicle driven by Mr.
Reyes Bermudez approached him at a high rate of speed. Mr. Reyes Bermudez was shot once in the
head. The white Mercedes SUV driven by Mr. Reyes Bermudez then crossed both lanes of traffic on 1 8
th street,

struck a parked car, and then came to a stop after it crashed into a building. At that point it was
embedded inside the wall of an Office Depo located at 1771 West Ave.

Once police arrived on scene, the first responder, Officer Noa, ID #02-667 asked several
witnesses, "Who had shot?" at the vehicle. Mr. Lott identified himself as the shooter and immediately
stated, "I did, I was in fear for my life and I shot." Officer Noa then ordered him to the ground and
asked where the firearm was. Mr. Lott complied with the police commands and answered that the gun
was in his pocket. After the firearm was removed from the Mr. Lott's person and made safe, Mr. Lott
was placed in the back of a marked, Miami Beach police car. Later, when Officer Noa went to gather
Mr. Lott's name and information, Mr. Lott again spontaneously stated that he was in fear for his life and
that he had to shoot.

The initial call to 911 was made at 10:02 a.m. with the first responding officers arriving at
approximately 10:04 a.m. However, as the Mercedes SUV had crashed into the building it also hit a light
pole and live electrical wires fell on and around the SUV occupied by Mr. Reyes Bermudez. This created
an electrocution hazard for police, fire rescue, and Mr. Reyes Bermudez. The first responders were forced
to wait for Florida Power and Light representatives to turn off the electricity before anyone could
approach the Mercedes SUV. Because of this delay, Mr. Reyes Bermudez not was removed from the SUV
until approximately 11:02 a.m. and was transported to Ryder Trauma via MDFD Rescue where he was
pronounced deceased at 12:22 p.m.

MR. LOTT'S STATEMENT

At approximately 1 1 a.m., Mr. Lott was transported to the Miami Beach Police Department
Criminal Investigative Division for further questioning. After being placed in an interview room, Mr.
Lott was photographed by crime scene investigators, his hands were subjected to a gunshot residue test,
and his fingelprints were taken. Mr. Lott read and signed a consent form that allowed the crime scene
investigators to take a buccal swab for a DNA sample. At approximately I :32 p.m., Mr. Lott was
provided a Miranda waiver form that he signed, waiving his 5 th Amendment right to remain silent and
his 6th Amendment right to have an attorney present during questioning. Mr. Lott was then interviewed
by Detectives Chorens and Estopinan of the Miami Beach Police Department. That interview was both
video and audio recorded.

Page 2 of 15
 Upon being questioned by police, Mr. Lott explained that he had arrived at the "South Beach
Finest Hand Car Wash" at approximately 9:30 a.m. after going to a different car wash first. The other
car wash had too long a line, so Mr. Lott brought the Mercedes SUV to "South Beach Finest Hand Car
Wash." After turning the Mercedes SUV over to carwash employees, Mr. Lott went into the inside
waiting area and was sitting on a sofa watching TV while he waited for the vehicle to be washed. Mr.
Lott went on to say that while inside he was able to see through a window that looks out over the area
where the cars are being washed. He said that he saw a short, Spanish looking lady working on his
Mercedes SUV when he also saw an unknown male, later identified as Mr. Reyes Bermudez, enter his
vehicle. Mr. Lott did not know Mr. Reyes Bermudez before that day, but remembered that he did see
him "hanging around" when he first arrived at the Carwash that morning. Mr. Lott described the man as
having a grey afro and wearing a black jacket, dark colored jeans, and he had sunglasses on. He also
described Mr. Reyes Bermudez as someone who looked to him like a possible employee of the
Carwash.

Mr. Lott further explained that he saw Mr. Reyes Bermudez approach his Mercedes SUV while
the lady was wiping down the front driver side tires. He described the man as looking around in a
"suspicious manner" as the female Carwash employee continued to wipe the front tire. Mr. Lott then
saw Mr. Reyes Bermudez enter the Mercedes SUV at the driver's side front door. At that point he (Mr.
Lott) then left the interior waiting area and as he went outside, yelled, "Hey, what the fuck are you
doing?" to Mr. Reyes Bermudez. Mr. Lott said that Mr. Reyes Bermudez looked at him, started the
Mercedes SUV, revved the engine, and then "whipped" the Mercedes SUV out of the stall it was parked
in at a high rate speed. At that point, Mr. Lott removed his firearm from his front right pants pocket and
held it pointing at the ground. According to Mr. Lott, he intended to stand in front of the Mercedes SUV
to force it to stop. As the Mercedes SUV approached, Mr. Lott stepped back and braced for impact,
believing he was about to be hit by the vehicle. He stated that after that "I fired because I thought I was
about to be hit by a car I just knew I was going to die today."

Mr. Lott then described the events both verbally and by reenacting what he did for the Detectives. He
first said and then he demonstrated to the Detectives that he fired as he stepped back, trying to avoid
being struck by the speeding Mercedes SUV. After he saw the vehicle drive into the building across the
street, Mr. Lott called out for someone to call 911. He explained to the Detectives that he believed that
everything happened in a split second, but that he had fully expected to die because of the actions of the

Page 3 of 15
man who was stealing his Mercedes SUV. He further told the Detectives that he believed he had fired at
the front of the Mercedes SUV and not at the side of the vehicle as it was coming at him. Mr. Lott was
detained in the interview room for over 2.5 hours and answered every question asked of him.

WITNESS STATEMENTS

Miami Beach police detectives interviewed the witnesses on scene. The witnesses consisted of
customers and employees of the carwash. The interviews were audio taped and reviewed by the
undersigned.

1. Mrs. Marlene Armas, W/F 41, DOB 07/19/1977 — Mrs. Armas had been employed by the
carwash for four (4) days at the time of incident. Mrs. Armas explained that she had washed the
white Mercedes SUV with her coworker, Ruth, and as she was finishing the SUV, Ruth walked
over to the outdoor customer waiting area and asked for the owner of the SUV. According to Mrs.
Armas, a short time later she was approached by a black male in his late fifties, later identified as
Mr. Reyes Bermudez, and Mrs. Armas handed him the keys to the Mercedes SUV. When Mrs.
Armas asked Mr. Reyes Bermudez for his receipt for the car wash, the man claimed he had to
look for it. Mr. Reyes Bermudez then sat down in the driver's seat of the SUV and acted as if he
was looking for the receipt. At this point, the carwash manager, Frank, approached the scene and
asked Mr. Reyes Bermudez to get out of the car as it did not belong to him. Mrs. Armas stated
that the man, (Mr. Reyes Bermudez), refused to get out of the SUV. He then reached over, pushed
Mrs. Armas out of the way, and then closed and locked the door to the
SUV. Mrs. Armas said that Mr. Reyes Bermudez then started the SUV and accelerated towards
the manager, Frank. Mrs. Armas said that she felt her life was in danger because although she
did not see a firearm, she was in fear that Mr. Reyes Bermudez may have been armed with one.
Mrs. Armas saw the person who she believed was the rightful owner of the SUV, later identified
as Mr. Lotto, leave the customer waiting area and he had a firearm in his right hand. Mrs. Armas
heard two (2) gunshots fired by Mr. Lott at the driver side door of the SUV. Mrs. Armas was
very shaken up by the whole ordeal. She fufther added that she did not know if Mr. Lott was
able to jump out of the way of the speeding SUV, but she was sure he must have felt the same
fear she did after he pushed her out of the way.
2. Mr. Francisco "Frank" Diaz, W/M 52, DOB 04/30/1966 — Mr. Diaz is the manager of the
carwash and was working in that capacity at the time of the incident in question. Mr. Diaz stated

Page 4 of 15
 that the white Mercedes came it between 9:30-9:45a.m. The driver of the Mercedes SUV was a
regular customer. When a female employee called out that the Mercedes SUV was finished, an
older black man stood and claimed the car. Mr. Diaz recognized the man who claimed the car as
someone who had been at the carwash previously. After being alerted by Mr. Lott's scream that
there was someone inside the Mercedes SUV that did not belong there, Mr. Diaz went outside
and walked toward where the Mercedes was parked. Mr. Diaz tried to open the Mercedes' door.
That vehicle was now occupied by a man, who would later be known as Mr. Reyes Bermudez,
Mr. Diaz could not open the door because Mr. Reyes Bermudez had locked the car. Mr. Diaz
explained that at that point Mr. Reyes Bermudez tried to run him over as he tried to open the
SUV door. Mr. Diaz then went to the front of the car and said repeatedly "Stop," after which Mr.
Reyes Bermudez drove the car from the parking spot almost running him over in the process. That
is when Mr. Diaz saw Mr. Lott come out the front door of the carwash and yell "Stop stop" at the
fleeing SUV driven by Mr. Reyes Bermudez. Mr. Diaz then saw Mr. Lott fire twice at the
Mercedes SUV. Mr. Diaz also stated that the Mercedes SUV was driving fast. He heard/saw two
(2) shots and then saw the SUV accelerate away from the carwash, hit a parked Volkswagen, and
then the SUV hit the wall. Mr. Diaz stated that later he and his boss reviewed the CCTV video to
see how long Mr. Reyes Bermudez had been at the car wash that morning. He said that Mr.
Reyes Bermudez had not brought a car into the carwash that day, and it had appeared that Mr.
Reyes Bermudez had tried earlier in the morning to claim a different Mercedes that had been
washed, but that owner/customer was waiting outside and claimed it immediately.
3. Ruth Guillen, W/F 46, DOB 08/16/1972 — Mrs. Guillen had worked for the carwash for ten (10)
years and her job duties consisted of washing and detailing vehicles for the carwash. Mrs. Guillen
was washing the Mercedes SUV driven by Mr. Lott along with her coworker Marlene that
morning. When the SUV was finished, Mrs. Guillen walked over to the waiting area and asked
for the owner of the SUV. Mrs. Guillen saw an older black male, around sixty (60) years of age
get up and walk towards her. Mrs. Guillen told the man, later identified as Mr. Reyes Bermudez,
that Marlene had the keys. Mrs. Guillen then saw the man previously described sit down inside
the Mercedes SUV. She then observed the carwash manager, Frank, walk over to the SUV and
heard him tell Marlene that Mr. Reyes Bermudez was not the owner of the vehicle. The next thing
Mrs. Guillen saw was the SUV accelerating out of the parking space at a high rate of speed

Page 5 of 15
 towards Frank, and that Frank had to move out of the way in order to avoid being struck. The
SUV then made a right turn out of the stall, towards the exit of the carwash, and Mrs.
Guillen saw Mr. Lott holding a firearm in his right hand. Mrs. Guillen saw Mr. Lott point the
firearm at the SUV and heard two (2) gunshots being fired. After that the Mercedes SUV sped
across the street and crashed into the wall of the business located there. From her vantage point,
Mrs. Guillen opined that she did not think Mr. Lott was going to be struck by the SUV as it sped
out of the parking lot.
4. Mr. Ryan Gower, W/M 29, DOB 05/25/1989 — Mr. Gower said that he had been sitting in the
outside waiting area while waiting for his own car to be washed. He advised that Mr. Reyes
Bermudez had been sitting in the waiting area next to him and that he observed Mr. Reyes
Bermudez stand and walk over to the white Mercedes SUV when a car wash employee
announced that the SUV was ready. Mr. Gower said that he then observed the shooter (Mr. Lott)
leave the inside waiting area of the car wash and when Mr. Lott saw someone driving his
vehicle away, he started yelling "Stop, stop stop!" Mr. Gower continued to explain that the
shooter (Mr. Lott) was in front of the SUV and that the driver, (Mr. Reyes Bermudez)
accelerated towards the shooter who had to jump out of the way of the speeding Mercedes SUV
or be struck by the vehicle.
5. Ms. Kanisha Brown, B/F 38 DOB 08/08/1980 — Ms. Brown was an employee of Car Wash and
she was working at the time of incident. Ms. Brown said that she was vacuuming another car
which was next to the white Mercedes SUV when she saw the man jump into that SUV and then
she heard the door slam shut. Ms. Brown saw a man in a black suit, (the shooter) run out of the
carwash office shouting for someone to call 911 as his car had just been stolen. From her vantage
point, Ms. Brown said the man who took the SUV had been sitting in the outside waiting area as
if he was waiting for his car.
6. Mr. Sidney Jamila, A/M 46, DOB 02/14/1973 — Mr. Jamila was in the inside waiting room
waiting for his own car to be washed when he observed a black man seated next to him stand up
and say, "Who is in the car?" Mr. Jamila then saw the carwash manager walk outside and the
black man walk over and stand outside the main doors. Mr. Jamila further observed the following:
the SUV begin to drive out of the wash area and towards the street, while the black man he had
seen sitting next to him yell towards the Mercedes, "Stop!" The man then pulled a gun from his
right front pocket and pointed it at the Mercedes SUV and fired at the SUV and the man driving

Page 6 of 15
 it. Mr. Jamila said that the black man shot at the SUV as he was standing next to the driver's side
door. After the two gunshots, Jamila saw the SUV accelerate and hit the wall across the street. He
then heard the man who fired the gun say that "He tried to run me over."
7. Mr. Jonathon Chavez, W/M 26, 04/29/1992 — Mr. Chavez was waiting in the outside waiting
area for his car to be washed. Mr. Chavez heard an employee standing next to a white Mercedes
SUV asking, "whose car?" of the people in the waiting area. Then, Mr. Chavez observed a black
male, possibly homeless, walk over to the white Mercedes SUV and get in the driver's seat. He
then advised that the same homeless man had been seated at a table in the outside waiting area
earlier and stood up as if to claim a different Mercedes had just been washed when the staff had
similarly asked for the owner of that Mercedes. However, the true owner was present and claimed
that vehicle before the homeless man could claim it. Mr. Chavez said that after the homeless
looking man sat in the Mercedes SUV, he saw another black male walk out of the waiting room
and say, "That's my car!" Mr. Chavez then saw the Mercedes SUV leave the parking spot and turn
towards the exit. Mr. Chavez says he then saw the second black man get out of the path of the
speeding Mercedes SUV and then shoot twice at the Mercedes SUV as it passed him.
8. Mr. Edwin Beliage, B/M 48, DOB 06/24/1962— Mr. Beliage was an employee of the carwash
who was working that day. That morning he called for the manager, Frank, to deal with the man
who was in a Mercedes SUV without permission. Mr. Beliage said that he was inside the carwash
interior waiting area when he heard someone, who would be later known as Mr. Lott, ask "who's
inside my car?" Mr. Beliage then heard Mr. Lott say "stop stop." According to Mr. Beliage, Mr.
Lott was in the path of the SUV as he said "stop stop," and when the Mercedes SUV did not stop,
Mr. Lott had to move out of the way to avoid being run over. Mr. Beliage then saw the car
accelerate and that is when he saw Mr. Lott fire into the SUV as the SUV was passing him. Mr.
Beliage saw the SUV then strike a black parked car and then the wall of the business opposite the
carwash. Mr. Beliage also identified himself as the person who had called 911.

CRIME SCENE

Miami Beach Crime Scene Investigators arrived on scene at approximately I I :03a.m. on the day of

incident. The investigators photographed the scene as a whole, including the 1200 block of 1 8 th

Page 7 of 15
 Street, all vehicles parked on 1 8 th Street, the 4dr Mercedes AMG G53 found with its front end
protruding into the north wall of The Office Depo located on 1771 West Avenue, the electrical box
that was in physical contact with the Mercedes SUV, the interior of the Mercedes SUV, the black
4DR Volkswagen Atlas that had been struck by the Mercedes SUV, overall photographs of the
"South Beach Finest Hand Car Wash" located at 1228 SW 1 8 th Street, overall photographs of the
interior and exterior areas of the carwash, the vehicles that remained on the carwash property, as
well as various items of potential evidentiary value located on scene including the following:

Clothing on the south sidewalk of 1 8 th Street that had been removed from Mr. Reyes
Bermudez by fire rescue personnel
Various personal items removed from the pockets of Mr. Reyes Bermudez and left on the
south sidewalk of 1 8th Street
A pillow, blanket, cigarettes and black mesh tied around a black cable in a covered entrance
to Office Depot located on 18th Street. (these items appear to be the possessions of a
homeless person who was camped in that doorway)
A 9mm Ruger semi-automatic handgun with a ten (10) cartridge clip.
Eight (8) unspent cartridges were recovered from the 9mm Ruger handgun.
2 spent projectile casings

Crime scene also took overhead photos of the carwash and surrounding area of 1 8 th Street and photos
of the north wall of the Office Depot both before and after the SUV had been removed. The photos of
the exterior customer waiting area, with the yellow demarcation line, should be noted.

Crime scene investigators responded to JMH Ryder Trauma Center to document the body of Mr. Reyes
Bermudez. Photographs were taken of any trauma visible on the body of the decedent. Also, fingerprints
were taken and gunshot residue collection was performed on the hands of the deceased.

On December 19, 2018, Crime scene investigators responded to the Miami Beach police impound lot
and examined, photographed, and documented the white Mercedes SUV that had been involved in the
incident at the carwash. Photographs were taken of the damage to the front end of the vehicle due to its
collision with another vehicle and the wall. The interior of the vehicle was also documented and dusted

Page 8 of 15
for fingerprints. A wallet, sunglasses, biologic evidence and a spent projectile lodged in the steering
wheel were all collected for later analysis as necessary.

MEDICAL EXAMINER

Mr. Reyes Bermudez was transported to JMH Ryder Trauma Center at 1 1 a.m. Medical
personnel treated Mr. Reyes Bermudez to no avail, and he was pronounced deceased at 12:22 pm. On
December 19, 2020, an autopsy was performed by Associate Medical Examiner, Dr. Mark Shuman under
Medical Examiner case number 2018-03755. Dr. Shuman determined that the cause of death was a single,
penetrating gunshot wound to the left side of the decedent's head. The gunshot wound traveled through
the two parietal lobes of the brain as well as the thalamus. The left and right parietal bones, the frontal
bone, left temporal bone, left side of the occipital bone, both the anterior and middle cranial fossae were
all damaged if not fractured by the projectile. The trajectory of the wound was left to right, back to front,
and slightly upward. A deformed projectile was removed from under the posterior parietal scalp.

Fractures between the sixth and seventh and the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae were also
observed. The cervical fractures were most likely the result of the SUV striking the parked car and the
wall of a neighboring business.

The cause of death of Mr. Reyes Bermudez was the gunshot wound to the head. The manner of
death was ruled homicide. The word "homicide" when used in a forensic context is defined as the death
of a person caused by the intentional act of another person. This is not a legal conclusion, but rather a
medical classification made by Associate Medical Examiner Dr. Mark Shuman.

LEGAL ANALYSIS

Before the State can charge and later convict a person of murder, we must first prove that the act
of the defendant in using deadly force to kill the victim was not legally justified pursuant to Fla. Stat.
782.02. Pursuant to Fla. Stat. 782.02, "the use of deadly force is justifiable when a person is resisting
any attempted to murder such person or to commit any felony upon him or her." To prosecute Allen Lott
for the murder of Jose Reyes Bermudez the State would have to be able to prove that Allen Lott's actions
did not constitute justifiable use of deadly force. Further, pursuant to Fla. Stat. 776.012, Mr. Lott would
be justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he believed that such force was necessary to
prevent great bodily harm to himself or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony.

Page 9 of 15
Pursuant to the Statute and pursuant to Love v. State, 286 So. 3d 177, 187 (Fla. 2019), the State would
be required, once a defense raised a prima facia case of self-defense, to prove by clear and convincing
evidence that Mr. Lott was not entitled to stand his ground and be immunized from prosecution. Further,
Mr. Lott had no duty to retreat and had a right to stand his ground if he was not engaged in a criminal
activity and was in a place where he had a right to be.

Florida enacted what is commonly known as "Stand your Ground Laws" that grants complete
immunity from both criminal and civil penalties if someone uses force to defend themselves. The
Statute applicable to the instant set of facts is Florida Statute §776.012 (2)

"A person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she

reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent
imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the
imminent commission of a forcible felony. A person who uses or threatens to use
deadly force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat and
has the right to stand his or her ground if the person using or threatening to use the
deadly force is not engaged in a criminal activity and is in a place where he or she has
a right to be."

In the instant case Mr. Reyes Bermudez was in the course of committing a forcible felony
(carjacking, robbery, burglary and or attempted murder/aggravated assault or battery) when he stole the
while Mercedes SUV and tried to escape with the vehicle. Mr. Reyes Bermudez acquired the keys to the
SUV by deception when he pretended/acted as if he was the owner of the SUV when the carwash staff
announced the vehicle was ready. However, when he (1) pushed carwash employee Marlene Armas away
from the SUV door to secure the vehicle; (2) put carwash employees Frank Diaz and Marlene
Armas in fear when he appeared to aim the Mercedes SUV at carwash manager Frank Diaz as he was
pulling out of the stall; and (3) when he drove the SUV towards Mr. Lott at a high rate of speed, placing
Mr. Lott in fear that he was going to strike him with the vehicle. Mr. Reyes Bermudez elevated this car
theft to a Carjacking. A Carjacking is defined in this State in FS §812.133 (1) as,

"Carjacking" means the taking of a motor vehicle which may be larceny from the
person or custody of another, with intent to either permanently or temporarily deprive
the person or the owner of the motor vehicle, when in the course of the taking there is
the use of force, violence, assault, or putting in fear. (3)(a) An act shall be deemed "in
the course of committing the carjacking" if it occurs in an attempt to commit
carjacking or in flight after the attempt or commission. (b) An act shall be deemed "in
the course of the taking" if it occurs either prior to, contemporaneous with, or

Page 10 of 15
 subsequent to the taking of the property and if it and the act of taking constitute a
continuous series of acts or events.
Other forcible felonies that would apply to this case are robbery (taking the vehicle by force)
and burglary (entering and remaining in the vehicle with the intent to commit theft of the
vehicle). When Mr. Reyes Bermudez drove the vehicle out of the parking lot at a high rate of
speed right at Mr. Lott (who was attempting to stop him), he was committing the forcible
felonies of attempted murder and/or aggravated assault/battery against Mr. Lott. In addition, at
that time, Mr. Lott was placed in fear of death or great bodily harm and based on that he had
the right to use deadly force to defend himself if he reasonably believed such force was
necessary.

CONCLUSION

The State cannot file criminal charges against Mr. Lott unless there is a good-faith belief that we
can prove the shooting of Mr. Reyes Bermudez was unjustified beyond and to the exclusion of every
reasonable doubt. The State must also prove by clear and convincing evidence that Mr. Lott was not in
fear or that the fear was not reasonable as a matter of law. The State cannot meet either of those burdens
on the facts and evidence presented on this case. Mr. Lott had the legal right to stand his ground and use
deadly force to protect himself from death or great bodily harm while Mr. Reyes Bermudez was
committing and escaping from committing a forcible felony. After reviewing the thorough police
investigation, statements of witnesses, and the physical evidence, it is the conclusion of the undersigned
that charges cannot be filed in this matter as the State would unable to prove that this homicide was not
the result of justifiable use of deadly force under all the applicable laws in Florida.
