A man was accidentally shot by an accomplice while shooting inside his North Miami Beach home, police said

NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Florida. — Police say a man who teamed up with a friend to shoot up a home in North Miami Beach was himself shot and killed — by his partner in crime.

Authorities arrested 22-year-old Steeve Jean-Charles of North Miami following his release from HCA Florida Aventura Hospital on Thursday. He is charged with attempted murder, being a felon in possession of a firearm and shooting or throwing a deadly missile.

North Miami Beach police said the shooting happened just after 4:22 a.m. Monday at a home in the 1300 block of Northeast 153rd Street.

According to police, there were several people inside, but the only person who ended up shot was Jean-Charles.

He fled after being shot and ended up at a home in the 1400 block of Northeast 136th Street in North Miami, where police were called about a man shot in the chest about 10 minutes after the first shooting, one said Arrest report.

Jean-Charles claimed he did not know where the shooting occurred, police said. Then, at the hospital, he claimed he was shot in the back by a man who asked him for money at a gas station in northwest Miami-Dade.

Police said they reviewed footage from the gas station and found no evidence that Jean-Charles was there.

Authorities said he then changed his story and went to the scene of the North Miami Beach home shooting, claiming he and his friend went there to meet two women when “two unknown black men in black” showed up and shooting began toward them.”

Police said surveillance video from the crime scene told the true story: Jean-Charles and his friend got out of the car and began shooting at the house when his friend accidentally shot Jean-Charles while running behind him.

Authorities have not said whether they have identified or arrested the other man.

Jean-Charles was being held without bail at the Turner Guilford Knight Center early Friday evening.
