Current and former Miami-Dade police officers indicted in fatal shootout after 2019 kidnapping of UPS driver

A Broward County grand jury issued indictments charging four current and former Miami-Dade County police officers with the deaths of two civilians — a kidnapped UPS truck driver and a motorist — who were killed at a Miramar intersection on Dec. 5, 2019.

All four charged individuals surrendered at the Broward County Main Jail on Friday and Saturday and their legal paperwork was processed.

Rodolfo Mirabal, 39, was indicted on two counts of manslaughter with a firearm for the deaths of Frank Ordonez, 27, the kidnapped UPS driver, and Richard Cutshaw, 70, the motorist, at the intersection of Miramar Parkway and Flamingo Road.

Jose Mateo, 32, Richard Santiesteban, 33, and Leslie Lee, 57, were all indicted on one count each of manslaughter with a firearm for the death of Ordonez.

All four were released on their own recognizance, per a judge’s court order. The maximum possible penalty under Florida law is up to 30 years in state prison, though a first-time offender could face a significantly lesser penalty.
