Officers shot and killed Oswain Walcott who was wanted for questioning in a South Beach man's death

Police had been searching for 22-year-old Oswain Walcott, whom they wanted to question in connection with the death of 18-year-old Bradley Paul. After searching for days, authorities found Walcott in an apartment complex at 119th Street and Northeast 16th Avenue on Wednesday afternoon. Miami-Dade police said there was a confrontation at the complex. Police said Walcott reached for his waistband while yelling to officers, and police opened fire, shooting Walcott.
He was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he died Wednesday night.
Officers from both the Miami Beach and Miami-Dade police departments fired shots during the confrontation, Local 10's Elena Echarri reported. Investigators are trying to determine who actually shot Walcott. Before authorities found him, Miami Beach police called Walcott "extremely dangerous" in a news release Wednesday as the manhunt continued. On Tuesday, officers knocked on Walcott's door to talk to him about Paul, who was found dead in an alleyway in the 1000 block of Lenox Avenue on Saturday. When Walcott saw officers at the door of his apartment, he took off, police said. Miami Beach police said Walcott broke into a South Beach home and held a family hostage from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, fondling a teenager during that time. Walcott then ran to another apartment, where a woman was hurt, police said. She was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Police have not released details on how the woman was injured.
Police have not yet ruled Paul's death a homicide. Police would not comment on the cause of Paul's death, how they believed Walcott might have been involved or what he might have been able to bring to the case. An arrest warrant also was issued for Walcott in Georgia on a theft by burglary charge, Miami Beach police said.
Police are also looking for 28-year-old Romado Stephens for questioning.

Frank Contreras aka TANK

Frank Contreras, 19, a former Miami Beach High student, was charged with first-degree felony murder Thursday. Detectives had arrested Charles J. Greenfield, 33, on the same charge late Wednesday.
Investigators say the pair provided heroin to Mark S. Harris, 21, who was found dead of an overdose on Jan. 24 in his truck in a municipal parking lot off 41st Street and Prairie Avenue.
Greenfield told Miami Beach Detective Wayne Holbrook that Harris was his pot-and-cocaine buddy.
According to an arrest report, Harris went to Greenfield's mid-Beach apartment Jan. 23 and paid Greenfield $60.
Greenfield called Contreras, who dropped by and gave them baggies of heroin and cocaine. Brokering the heroin deal netted Greenfield $10, police said.
Harris walked out, injected himself in the truck and died, police said.
By law, someone who commits certain felonies -- in this case, selling drugs -- can be charged with felony murder if someone dies in the process.
In November, Miami Beach police arrested Christopher Rodriguez, 22, a security guard, after he allegedly sold Ecstasy pills to a 15-year-old on her way to party in South Beach. The teen was hospitalized and died. Rodriguez, who told police he had just started selling drugs, is awaiting trial on charges of first-degree felony murder and selling a controlled substance.
In February 2007, Miami-Dade police charged Melanie Mazzotti, 30, with first-degree murder in the death of jailed boyfriend Edward Hawkins, 26. Police alleged she smuggled drugs in a package that he then swallowed to conceal from corrections officers.
The package later burst in his stomach and killed him.
