Unrest after the shooting of Clement Lloyd

The 1989 Miami riot was sparked after Miami Police Department (MPD) officer William Lozano shot black motorcyclist Clement Lloyd on January 16, 1989. Lloyd, 23, was fleeing another MPD officer, who was chasing him for an alleged traffic violation. Lozano was on foot investigating an unrelated incident, heard about the situation on his police radio, and later said the motorcycle "veered toward him".
