One son of Canadian consul general slain in Miami, other son arrested: reports

By

Tragedy has reportedly struck the family of a Canadian diplomat in Florida, whose 17-year-old son has reportedly been killed and his 15-year-old brother arrested in an apparent marijuana deal that ended in gunfire.

Miami police have confirmed reports that the family is that of Roxanne Dube, Canada’s consul general in Miami.

The Canadian government says it is aware of reports of a serious incident involving a Canadian family in Miami, and that Canadian officials are providing assistance to the family.

The Canadian consulate in Miami is redirecting inquiries to Foreign Affairs headquarters.

Dube began her posting only weeks ago.

She arrived in Miami earlier this year, after having been appointed in November 2014 and having served as ambassador to Zimbabwe from 2005 to 2008.

The Miami Herald says another man was killed during the incident on Monday and that a fourth male was wounded and drove away, and was later found at a gas station.
