6TH WAVE

According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, the shooting happened early Monday morning outside the Pearl Dadeland Apartments at 7440 N. Kendall Drive.

An arrest report states that an MDSO deputy responded to the area just after 3:30 a.m. after receiving reports of a gunshot. A bystander flagged down the deputy “and reported that a group of individuals had been involved in an altercation but left the area minutes before deputies arrived.”

At about the same time, South Miami police reported that the victim arrived at Baptist Health South Miami Hospital with a gunshot wound, deputies said.

The victim would tell deputies that he delivered food to a woman living at the building about an hour before and “engaged in a brief conversation with (her) and took a liking to her,” according to the report.

Deputies said he returned at around 3:25 a.m. “in an attempt to see the (woman) again and possibly obtain her phone number,” but was unsuccessful.

As the man was going back to his car, deputies said the woman’s boyfriend, Khuslen Saruultuya, pulled up in a Chevrolet Corvette.
