**Miami Man Shot by Police Officer After Incident Near Bayfront Park**

**Miami, FL -** A 21-year-old man, identified as Menelek Clarke by his sister, Sherylann Clarke, was shot and wounded by a Miami police officer on Sunday near Bayfront Park during the Best of the Best concert.

According to police, the officer fired at Clarke after Clarke’s vehicle made contact with him while he was directing traffic on Biscayne Boulevard.

Sherylann Clarke, who was in the vehicle with her brother, disputes this account. She claims they were looking for a parking spot and were following the officer’s hand signals to proceed when the officer allegedly stepped in front of the car and opened fire. “We were all stopped… he told everyone else to go with his hands, signaling that we can go,” she stated. “And then he stood in front of my brother’s car and shot him. It wasn’t intentional to hit him. No, the man moved with the car as he was going around him.”

Menelek Clarke, who was reportedly shot multiple times, was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital and is currently in critical, but stable, condition. “He said that he felt like he was going to die,” his sister reported, adding that her brother was unarmed.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has launched an investigation into the incident, as per standard procedure.
