Inside the 1986 Miami FBI Shootout - Ruger Mini 14 vs Revolvers

Two masked gunmen turned Miami’s South Dixie Highway into a battlefield. The FBI closed in. What happened next rewrote policing in America. This episode tracks the six-month hunt that led to the 1986 Miami FBI shootout: a stolen black Monte Carlo with plate NTJ 891, command-style robberies in broad daylight, and a chilling ambush near a quiet neighborhood. Hear how a near-fatal attack on Jose Collazo exposed unmasked faces, why a white Ford F-150 became a crucial lead, and how a pattern of Friday morning hits narrowed the net. Then comes the moment agents Ben Grogan, Jerry Dove, Gordon McNeill, and Ed Mireles intersect the suspects armed with a Ruger Mini 14. From misfiring bank cameras to ballistic links, from Emilio Briel’s disappearance to a final five-minute crossfire, the clues, courage, and split-second choices unfold with harrowing detail. Watch to learn what investigators discovered about the men behind the masks, and how this case changed FBI firearms and training forever. Stick with it to the end. #FBIFiles #MiamiShootout #TrueCrime #LawEnforcement #FBI #1986 #RugerMini14
