MIAMI BEACH (AP) – A Virginia man was fatally shot while on vacation by a Miami Beach police officer, but the victim’s family says police stopped the wrong man.

Police were looking for a man who was reportedly walking with a gun early Sunday morning when an officer approached 29-year-old Husien Shehada from Woodbridge, Va.

The officer and Shehada exchanged words and a confrontation ensued, although police would not release further details. The cop reportedly shot Shehada, who died at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
