TAMPA, Fla – Miami-Dade Police Director Alfredo “Freddy” Ramirez has been hospitalized in the Tampa area after shooting himself along Interstate 75, multiple sources have confirmed to Local 10 News.

Multiple sources tell Local 10 News that Ramirez and his wife, who he has been married to since 1995, had stepped outside the hotel at about 6:30 p.m. and had begun fighting, at which time a witness saw Ramirez putting a gun to his mouth, prompting them to call 911.
