Dead Shark Found in Miami Street!
A six-foot nurse shark was found in the middle of the street in Overtown, Miami on Tuesday night.
As officials prepared to take the shark away, a passerby told cops just how the shark got there.
Renato Martinez, 53, works at Garcia’s, the fish wholesalers and restaurant on the Miami River. He said two men biked to the store, and offered to sell the shark for $10.
Absolutely not, the staff told the men. Those men must have dumped the shark in the middle of the street, Martinez concluded.
“I’m not crazy,” Martinez said. “I know it’s the same shark.”
There were also earlier reports of men carrying “large fish” on the Metromover, police said. Spokesman Willie Moreno said it was unclear whether the two incidents were related.
If the suspects are captured, wildlife officers said, they will likely face misdemeanor charges for improper killing and disposal of an animal, as well as a charge in connection with selling shark without a license.
Somebody call Sonny Crockett!
Well, it was heavy man, you don’t expect us to carry ‘dis thin’ around all night… jeez man..
Whoa!!! That’s a lot of work for $10.00!!!
Do you all see what is happening now? Bull sharks in our rivers and lakes…now nurse sharks on our city streets! These evil aquatic monsters are encroaching our habitat. They want to steal our jobs, marry our daughters, and then eat us all!!! We must resist jagged toothed oceanic hegemony wherever it rears it’s ugly gill-slitted head!
