According to police, the incident began when Desravines shot his girlfriend’s father in Florida City during an argument over food.
Desravines fled the scene after a while in his Volkswagen Jetta, but was spotted by Miami-Dade officers who pursued him on the Florida Turnpike, an arrest report said.
Helicopter footage from NBC6 showed the Jetta traveling at high speeds, weaving through rush hour traffic on the Turnpike and then the Dolphin Expressway as officers pursued it.
The car eventually crashed into another vehicle and a street sign on the eastbound Dolphin Expressway near 22nd Avenue, where Desravines was taken into custody.
During the pursuit, Desravines threw the gun and an extended magazine out of the car, but both were recovered, the report said.
Miami-Dade Corrections
Desravines was arrested on several charges including attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, fleeing and eluding police and attempted tampering with evidence.
