The 1986 FBI Miami shootout was a gunfight that occurred on April 11, 1986, in a then-unincorporated region of Dade County, Florida between eight FBI agents and two serial bank robbers and murderers. During the firefight, FBI Special Agents Jerry L. Dove and Benjamin P. Grogan were killed, while five other agents were wounded. The two robbery suspects, William Russell Matix and Michael Lee Platt, were also killed.
The incident is infamous in FBI history and is well-studied in law enforcement circles. Despite outnumbering the suspects by a ratio of four to one, the agents found themselves pinned down by semi-automatic rifle fire and unable to respond effectively. Although both Matix and Platt were hit multiple times during the shootout, Platt fought on and continued to wound and kill agents.
