Officers' Names Released
Miami-Dade police released the names of the officers involved in Thursday's shootings. All of the officers worked out of the Cutler Ridge district.The deceased officer was identified as Jose Somohano, 37, who was hired in 2003. His wife and two children survive Somohano.Jody Wright, 31, was shot in the leg and remains at Jackson Memorial Hospital. She was hired in 2005.Christopher Carlin, 34, was hired in 1994, and Tomas Tundidor, 37, was hired in 1989. Both officers were treated at local hospitals and released.Alvarez said the family of Somohano had a message for police when he met with them Thursday morning."They asked us for one thing: They asked us to catch the subject," Alvarez said.Mistaken Identity
First reports were that the person responsible for the shootings was a man named Kevin Wehner, a Jacksonville resident with no criminal record."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.Wehner went to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office when he saw his photo and heard his name used in connection with the Miami shooting. Late Thursday, JSO issued a statement saying it and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement "are confident that Mr. Wehner is not involved in the Miami incident today."Authorities said Wehner reported being a victim of identity theft in October 2006 after he received three automobile registrations from the Miami-Dade County automobile tag agency for two vehicles he did not own. The JSO investigated the incident and discovered that an unknown person was identifying himself as Kevin Foston Wehner, using the victim's date of birth and Social Security number.Family Ties
