A suspect has been arrested in connection with a weekend shooting in southwest Miami-Dade that left a man seriously injured and narrowly missed a sleeping mother and daughter, police said.

Glenn Roy Cassis Jr., 25, faces charges including attempted murder, firing a deadly projectile and discharging a firearm from a vehicle during the shooting, a police report said.

The shooting occurred around 2:45 a.m. Saturday outside a grocery store in the 21600 block of Southwest 102nd Avenue.

According to the report, the victim, Tristum Hobbs, was found at the scene with a gunshot wound to the back and was taken to Jackson South Medical Center in critical condition.

Officers found more than 100 empty bullet casings on the street at the scene and determined that a bullet had entered a room in a nearby house where a mother and her daughter were sleeping, the report said.

Surveillance footage showed several suspects driving up in two vehicles and then shooting at Hobbs, who was standing near the intersection, the report said.

Officers later located a sedan that matched the description of one of the vehicles used in the shooting. It also had damage consistent with gunshot wounds to the roof, the report said.

A sergeant was monitoring the car and Cassis was arrested as he exited the vehicle a few hours after the shooting, the report said.

Cassis was carrying a Glock 17 with an extended magazine in his waistband, but denied firing a firearm, the report said.

Cassis was taken to prison, where he was being held on Monday. Lawyer details were not available.
