Family of 28-year-old killed in 2025 police crossfire files amended complaint against state attorney’s office

The mother of a young woman killed in a police crossfire in Wynwood has filed an amended complaint against the Miami-Dade State Attorney s Office. The filing details much of the deadly incident and comes weeks after prosecutors declined to charge the officers involved in the shooting of 28-year-old Evelyn Valdes. I m angry, yes. I m very angry, said Kristy Garcia, the victim s mother. And it s sad that the system has failed us. The government has failed us completely. Definitely trying to cover up something, said Joe Valdes, the victim s sister. Evelyn s family and attorney said newly obtained body camera and surveillance footage tell a different story than what the state attorney s office said occurred on June 14, 2025. Attorney Ramon Rasco said the amended complaint alleges excessive force by the police officers, arguing they opened fire on the armed man without first trying to de-escalate the situation. There is no command on either one of those videos. Ther
