Police search for man who allegedly threatened NE Miami-Dade synagogue

Northeast Miami-Dade, Fla. – Police are asking for
the public’s help in their search for a man who, police said, threatened to
shoot up a Northeast Miami-Dade synagogue.

 

Miami-Dade Police identified the subject as Steven H.
Brooks and said he threatened to kill people at the synagogue with an Uzi.

 

Police said Brooks had been given several trespass warnings
and still returned in mid-August.

 

 “The information
that I received was he basically put out an open threat to come back and
basically spray the place down with an Uzi,” said Steven Rachminov of
Specialized Protection and Security. “At that point, come on. You’re screaming
‘wolf’ to the highest level. Things need to be done.”
