According to North Miami police spokeswoman Natalie Buissereth, officers "attempted to negotiate" with the men and Kinsey was eventually shot.
Police have not said why the officer shot Kinsey.
"It was scary at first when I first heard about it. I was hysterical, but right now he is doing good," Kinsey's ex-wife, Lashawn Young, said.
Clint Bower, who runs the group home, told Local 10 News that Kinsey was shot three times in the leg and that the man he was caring for is non-verbal and has "relatively low function."
"Very shocked, because you hear it, like the police incidents all the time and you never think it is going to be a part of your family," Young said. "I feel like they just pull out their weapons and just shoot for no apparent reason."
Kinsey's attorney, Hilton Napoleon, told Local 10 News that the officer gave no reason for the shooting.
"My client asked the police, 'Why did he shoot me?' And the officer said, 'I don't know,'" Napoleon said.
Kinsey's lawyer said his client did everything police asked of him, yet they still fired at him.
"He threw his hands in the air as high as he possibly could and he told them, 'There is no need for that. Nobody has a gun. I am a behavioral therapist and I am trying to help this guy,'" Napoleon said.
Police said the autistic man had something in his hand, but Kinsey's lawyer said it was a toy fire truck and could not be mistaken for a gun.
"It is not silver. It is not shiny. It is not black. It doesn't look like a gun," Napoleon said. "In fact, you can see the autistic guy playing with it."
Meanwhile, Kinsey's family said they just want to see the officer punished.
The officer involved in the shooting has been placed on administrative leave as is department policy.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office is assisting in the investigation.
Police are encouraging anyone who witnessed the shooting to call 305-891-0294.
