Miami, Florida - Video shows man fatally shot by North Miami Beach Police while holding woman hostage with machete. North Miami Beach Police Chief Harvette Smith said officers responded to the building around 1:30 p.m. after getting a 911 call of a man walking around with a large machete. The suspect died from his injuries. Family members later identified him as 38-year-old Edridge Alexis. No officers were injured and the woman was also okay. “He’s a good guy. They can’t tell me he had a machete and tried to cut people throat,“ said Wilkinson Alexis, the suspect’s brother. “Nah, he ain’t like that.“ He said his brother struggled with his mental health, and he doesn’t believe what police are saying about the incident is true.
