A Florida sheriff’s deputy was fatally shot with his own weapon while responding to a vehicle crash on Friday, according to police.

Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Deputy Devin Jaramillo, 27, was shot Friday afternoon on the 12200 block of Southwest 128th Street after he responded to a traffic crash and was attacked by a suspect who got ahold of Jaramillo’s service weapon.

The attack was “not an ambush,” Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said Saturday.

She said Jaramillo responded to the “minor” traffic incident and got into a verbal dispute with a man who was involved, which escalated into a physical altercation.
