"The UPS truck driver killed in a hostage situation and shootout in Miramar has been identified by his family.
Frank Ordonez, 27, was identified as the person fatally struck in the shooting that left three others dead following the cross-county pursuit of two alleged armed robbery suspects.
It started in Coral Gables when, police said, two gunmen robbed Regent Jewelers in the area of Le Jeune Road at around 4 p.m., Thursday.
Coral Gables Police Chief Edward Hudak said the subjects fled north in a U-Haul truck to the area of 1261 Mariana Ave. where they abandoned the vehicle and carjacked a UPS delivery truck and abducted its driver. The driver was making a delivery at the time of the carjacking, police said.
Officers later spotted the truck driving along the northbound lanes of Florida’s Turnpike and a chase ensued.
The chase took dozens of officers through Pembroke Pines before ending on Miramar Parkway just east of Flamingo Road.
Bullet holes and a shattered windshield could be seen in the truck.
Later in the evening, FBI Special Agent George Piro confirmed four people were killed in the shootout, including the UPS driver and a bystander.
UPS released a statement upon learning of the death of one of their employees:
“We are deeply saddened to learn a UPS service provider was a victim of this senseless act of violence. We extend our condolences to the family and friends of our employee and the other innocent victims involved in this incident. We appreciate law enforcement’s service and will cooperate with the authorities as they continue the investigation.”
Ordonez was an employee with the company since 2016, when he joined as a package handler.
He was then moved to be a driver.
According to his family, his normal delivery route isn’t through Coral Gables. He had been covering for a coworker on Thursday.
Ordonez leaves behind two young daughters.
