The sunny streets of Miami became the backdrop for a devastating domestic tragedy that claimed the life of 57-year-old Dwight Wells, a well-known local restaurateur whose double life as a devoted businessman and troubled partner ended in violence.
A Fateful Evening Turns Deadly
What began as an ordinary Tuesday evening quickly escalated into a nightmare scenario outside a Domino's Pizza establishment in Northwest Miami-Dade. Wells, owner of the popular Mr. J Juice Bar & Grill, became embroiled in a heated confrontation with his 32-year-old girlfriend, Kenyatta Giscombe, that would prove fatal.
The Violent Confrontation
According to police reports, the couple's argument turned physical when Giscombe allegedly struck Wells with her vehicle before producing a firearm. Witnesses watched in horror as the situation deteriorated rapidly, culminating in multiple gunshots that left Wells critically wounded at the scene.
Emergency Response and Aftermath
Miami-Dade Police and emergency services rushed to the location, but despite their efforts, Wells succumbed to his injuries. The successful businessman, known for his community presence and thriving restaurant, became another statistic in the alarming trend of domestic violence incidents.
Shocking Arrest and Charges
In a dramatic turn of events, Giscombe voluntarily presented herself at the Northside District Station hours after the shooting. Authorities have charged her with second-degree murder, revealing that the couple had a documented history of domestic disputes, including a previous arrest of Wells for domestic battery against Giscombe.
A Community in Mourning
The Miami business community has expressed profound shock at Wells' violent death. Regular patrons of Mr. J Juice Bar & Grill described him as a "pillar of the neighbourhood" whose tragic end serves as a stark reminder of the hidden struggles that can exist behind closed doors.
