Florida Man Dies of Heart Attack During Possibly Wrong-Door Raid

Miami police investigating

There are many things that are in dispute about the July night gang task force detectives raided the Brownsville home of three Miami brothers.

Here is what's not in dispute:

During the commotion, one brother, a 50-year-old Denny's restaurant cook, collapsed in the doorway of a massive heart attack and later was pronounced dead at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Relatives of Othello Russell are outraged, saying they believe the officers — members of the Multi-Agency Gang Task Force, spearheaded by Miami-Dade police but in this case led by Opa-locka officers — targeted the wrong home and literally scared him to death.
