North Miami Beach police believe there’s a link between a group that calls itself the NMB Stunnaz, which crafted a catchy Youtube rap video depicting guns, and the shooting of police officer Lino Diaz Friday morning.
Diaz, 47, was shot just before sunrise as he was executing a search warrant during a joint investigation with federal agents into unemployment fraud. Police said the home where the shooting took place bears a striking resemblance to the one in the video. Fellow officers from North Miami Beach and Aventura, who also took part in the task force, dragged Diaz to safety after he was shot.
“We’re aware of that video and we used it as part of our planning,” said North Miami Beach police Major Kathy Katerman. “We don’t know that for sure, if one of them [in the video] is the shooter. But the structure you see in the video appears very similar.”
Diaz, 47, a Special Response Team member whose bullet-proof vest took one of the rounds fired at him, was struck in the arm and leg. The arm wound caused a fracture. A decorated officer who has been named the city’s officer of the month four times, Diaz is expected to remain at Jackson Memorial Hospital through the weekend. He’s been with North Miami police in various capacities since 1998.

The shooting caused a major scene in the North Miami Beach neighborhood early Friday as sharpshooters and armored vehicles surrounded the home at 16033 NE Eighth Ave., and the street was blocked off to the public. Police believe whoever shot Diaz, who never entered the home, fired through a door or a window.
A police negotiator eventually talked a man and a woman inside the home into giving themselves up. As of late Friday neither had been charged with a crime. Police wouldn’t go into detail about the investigation other than saying it involved serving a federal search warrant and police were working with the U.S. Department of Labor. They wouldn’t release a copy of the search warrant, saying it was part of the investigation.
Delivering warrants has always been a tricky, dangerous endeavor for police. They’re often served to known criminals and several police departments train officers in how to deliver them. Still, there are mishaps. In January 2011, Miami-Dade police officers Roger Castillo, 41, and Amanda Haworth, 44, were gunned down at a Liberty City duplex by convicted felon Johnny Simms, who jumped out from another room with his gun blazing. Simms, too, was killed in the shootout.
The video in question by NMB Stunnaz is three minutes and 15 seconds of catchy beats, with two men in dreadlocks and wearing ballcaps pointing guns and rifles at the camera and dropping bullet casings on the ground. Called “Pull Out The Stick,” the song talks of revenge and recognition. It’s filmed in a small courtyard on the side of a home surrounded by a wooden fence.
At the end, the names Slimkidd305 and EBDaiceman are shown on a black screen. A man named Ivan Berrios is credited with editing and directing it. Katerman said she couldn’t say if one of the men in the video was involved in Friday’s incident. She said police believe some of the people involved in the fraud case are gang members or associated with violent gangs in the area.
The early Friday morning visit to the North Miami Beach home came as some residents were taking their kids to school. Moses Tanis, who lives near the home where the shooting erupted, said he was waiting outside for a school bus to pick up his child.
“I heard the shots and I went back in my house and closed the door,” Tanis said. “What happened is unacceptable, and people like that don't need to be living here.”
Diaz was transported to Jackson by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, with North Miami Beach police and city leaders not far behind. Mayor George Vallejo said he was awakened with a call no mayor ever wants to receive.
“He took two bullets today for the city of North Miami Beach,” the mayor said.
Later in the afternoon, the group gathered again at Jackson, this time with Diaz’s family and with Dr. Nicholas Namias, who treated Diaz. Namias said no major arteries or organs were hit and said he expected the officer to stay through the weekend.
Diaz’s father, Faustino Diaz, thanked police and said his son was doing fine. The officer’s sister, Suhiall Diaz, said the family has been through a “great ordeal,” and asked for privacy.
She also offered this: “Lino, he has always wanted to be a police officer.”

NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -
A woman and a man are in police custody, after a veteran North Miami Beach police officer was shot early Friday morning, police said.
North Miami Beach police Detective Lino Diaz was serving a search warrant when he was shot twice, just above his left knee and left arm, police said.
"Prior to making actual entry [to the house], there were shots fired at the officer,"North Miami Beach Police Chief J. Scott Dennis said. Neighbor Moses Tanis said he was with a child waiting for a school bus nearby when the shooting happened.

Diaz -- an experienced decorated member of the Special Weapons And Tactical team -- dropped to the ground when he was shot. He wasn't alone. He was part of an federal operation related to a case of unemployment fraud, police said.
About 6:10 a.m., Diaz was shot outside of a fenced one-story house, 16033 NE 8 Ave., near Oak Grove Elementary School. Law enforcement had been watching that house for weeks.
"We did have some information that this was a very dangerous house we were approaching," North Miami Beach Maj. Kathy Katerman said. She added that some fraud cases are often "gang related -- carrying heavy arms."
The North Miami Beach SWAT team and police officers from North Miami Beach, Aventura and Miami-Dade surrounded the house. There were armored cars and snipers. After a few hours, negotiators persuaded a man and a woman to exit the house, police said.
Records show Ivylyn Beverly Cassar is the owner of the two bedroom home. Elton Bandoo, who is a resident at the home, and an unidentified woman were held at the North Miami Beach police department for most of the day. Bandoo runs Major Currency Entertainment, an independent hip-hop music label that according to Local 10 News sources was suspected of working with Haitian-American Zoe Pound gang members.
Katerman said they watched some of their rap videos during the investigation.
After Diaz, 47, was shot, fellow officers got him to safety. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue airlifted him to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center. As of 5:30 p.m., he was in stable condition and doctors said he could be released in three days.
"The bullet to his leg was through and through, but the one in his arm is still there," Katerman said, while adding that Diaz's arm wound was going to require some surgery. A few hours later, North Miami Beach Mayor George Vallejo said he may not require surgery.
Diaz has been working with North Miami Beach since 1998. His superiors have awarded him "officer of the month" four times, most recently in 2012. Suhaill Diaz, the wounded officer's sister, said he had always wanted to be a police officer and described him as a "warrior" and a a "fighter"
"We are really proud of him," the officer's father, Faustino Diaz, said.
Several of his colleagues, Vallejo, Police Chaplain Yerochom Bensinger and City Manager Ana M. Garcia said they visited Diaz at the hospital. Garcia said she gave him a hug and a kiss, and will extend benefits during his recovery.
"If it hadn't been for his training, the protective gear he was issued and his warrior like mentality, we would be having a much different press conference right now," Dennis said Friday morning. He added that a bullet vest helped to save Diaz's life.
