By Karli Barnett, CBS Miami January 26, 2022 An attorney representing a 15-year-old that was shot and injured by a Miami-Dade police sergeant said the shooting was unjustified. CBS4 does not normally name minors. However, his attorney, Jarlens Princilis, is publicly identifying him as Vito Corleone-Venisse. "When you have a teenager whose back is facing the police officer, who is running away from the police officer," said Princilis, "We ask how could this teenager have possibly posed a threat to this officer to the extent that he has to use deadly force in making this arrest?"
