If this is related to the same episode, then the guy(s) managed to flee a long distance - the shooting happened way down in south Dade.
PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. -- The gunman who police said killed a Miami-Dade police officer and wounded three others is dead after a shootout at a Pembroke Pines condominium complex, according to police.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez and Police Director Robert Parker, speaking at a news conference about 12:30 a.m. Friday, said police shot Shawn Sherwin Labeet, 25, at the Heron Pond condominiums at 305 S.W. 85th Ave. shortly before midnight.
"Mr. Labeet was armed with a loaded weapon and, again, it resulted in an exchange of gunfire," Parker said. "Not only was the weapon (loaded), but he had additional ammunition on his body."
Police cornered Labeet in the rear of the complex near the pool area after learning of his whereabouts Thursday evening. They confirmed Labeet was wearing a bulletproof vest, but it was unclear if he was wearing one at the time of his death.
...
First reports were that the person responsible for the shootings was a man named Kevin Wehner. He went to Jacksonville authorities after seeing reports.
"Wehner is not involved in this case," O'Brien said. "It appears to us that Labeet may have obtained identification, maybe a driver's license, in Wehner's name. We are trying to clarify that now."
Alvarez said it was Labeet's girlfriend who was apprehended at the scene that gave police wrong information.
"She told us his name was Kevin Wehner," said Alvarez, who stated that the first hours of any investigation are crucial and that the woman's statement hampered the investigation. She faces charges.

I don't know what the maximum for obstruction of justice is, but I say throw the book at her.
