Miami Police Chief Manuel A. Morales provided an update, stating that Carbajal remains in "very" critical condition following surgery. Authorities are still investigating the case, suspecting that Jose may have been shot elsewhere and then driven to the location where the car was abandoned.
Inside the vehicle, police discovered two red gas containers in the trunk, adding to the mystery surrounding the crime. Miami-Dade County court records show that Carbajal had two criminal cases open over the summer, one involving strong-arm robbery and battery, and the other for resisting an officer. He had pleaded not guilty to both charges and was out on bail at the time of the shooting.
The investigation continues as police work to uncover more details.
