Shooting at Trump National Doral Miami (Surveillance & Body Camera Footage)

On May 18, 2018 officers responded to the Trump National Doral Miami Hotel regarding an active shooter in the lobby. The shooter, Jonathan Oddi, entered the main lobby carrying an American flag and a firearm. Prior to police arrival, Oddi fired shots toward the lounge, ceiling and chandelier of the hotel lobby.

Oddi then draped the American flag over the front desk and, while still armed, proceeded to break computers and other electronics. At one point, Oddi pointed his gun in the direction of the arriving officers, then placed his hand down as he stood behind the desk. As the officers were approaching, Oddi raised one and then, briefly, both hands.

As the officers were nearing with weapons drawn, Oddi ducked behind the counter, re-armed himself and pointed his gun in the immediate direction of the officers. Immediately, an officer discharged his firearm and Oddi returned gunfire. An exchange of gunfire ensued between the responding officers and Oddi.

As Oddi was attempting to flee, he also fired at Sergeant Luis Celis, who was standing near the side entry to the lobby. While fleeing, Oddi dropped his firearm and shortly thereafter was apprehended while hiding near the 3rd floor elevator with gunshot injuries to his legs.

During an interview with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Oddi, a 42 year old former stripper and porn actor, stated that he had planned his actions and wanted to direct attention to several political issues. He stated he dressed in black clothing and painted his face black so he would not be seen. He stated he conducted surveillance on the property for about two hours. He stated that he knew when the officer arrived there was going to be a shootout and he was expecting to get shot. He stated that he was going to surrender, but when the officers arrived, they were pointing guns at him, so he pointed his gun at the officers.

While at the hospital, Oddi yelled many spontaneous statements. He asked to speak with the FBI, Secret Service, CIA, and the media. He stated that there will be no president in two days, and that he is an intelligence officer. He spoke of nuclear weapons and stated that police will cease to exist.

Oddi also made the following erratic comments: “Trump is a traitor,” “Obama is Osama,” “Trump makes his money on gas,” “kill all the police in the street, useless good for nothing, nada, all of you,” “laws are corrupt,” and “Police, death has come to you, you be judged, die for now and for hell and for all of eternity, people in the streets are going to shoot you, get heart attacks, you are all dead, I’m going to let them know to put a bullet in your head.”

Oddi also told officers that he had a “settlement” with Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and the rap artist known as P. Diddy.
