A fight at a family party ends with 2 wounded and a man arrested

It began as an argument at a family party. It ended with a shooting that sent two people to the hospital, police said.

A 36-year-old man went to a Miami Beach home and shot at their front door to “scare” one of them, police said. The two who were injured did not have life-threatening injuries, police said.

Jeannik Pizetti-Perez, 36, was arrested early Monday and charged with one count of aggravated battery and one count of shooting or throwing a deadly missile.

Police refused to release the names of the two who were injured, blacking out their names in the report that they released to the public. Police said the names would not be released because the incident was “domestic violence related.”

The shooting happened just before 9 p.m. Sunday near the 1800 block of Normandy Drive, according to Miami Beach police.

Police say Pizetti-Perez told investigators he and one of the victims, a man, got in an argument that turned physical at a family member’s party earlier

Sunday. Police said PizettiPerez and the two victims knew each other “via family connections” and lived a few minutes away from each other.

The two left the party and returned home shortly before 9 p.m. At some point, the man and PizettiPerez began arguing again over the phone. PizettiPerez told investigators he eventually drove over to confront the man.

The two victims told investigators they slammed their home’s door closed when they saw PizettiPerez arrive. They then heard gunshots, realized they were injured and called police.

The man was injured in the chest and a woman was shot in the left arm, according to the police report. Both were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center with non-life-threatening injuries, said Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez.

Pizetti-Perez admitted to walking up the stairs and shooting at the home’s closed door twice because the man “insulted him and he wanted to scare him,” according to the arrest affidavit. Pizetti-Perez then drove off.

Officers speaking with him over the phone persuaded him to return to the area, where he was then taken into police custody without incident.

Pizetti-Perez told investigators he had driven away to turn himself in at a police station, according to the arrest report.

He was charged and taken to Miami-Dade Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he was being held on a $15,000 bond Monday afternoon.
