The man began to struggle with Officer Stuteville and gained control of his .38 caliber service revolver. The man shot and killed the security guard before turning and shooting Officer Stuteville, mortally wounding him. The suspect was found not guilty by reason of insanity for Officer Stuteville's murder and subsequently deported to Jamaica. Officer Stuteville had served with the Metro-Dade Police Department for over 15 years.
