From a martial arts brother from American Kenpo,

I just wanted to express my condolences to the Tae Kwon Do community for the loss of Grand Master Instructor Young Soo Do of Young's Tae Kwon Do in North Miami, Florida.

Grand Master Instructor Young Soo Do was shot by an armed man, who is currently being sought by law enforcement.

  • Video: Tae Kwon Do instructor shot

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police are investigating a shooting after two men, including a beloved local Tae Kwon Do instructor, were gunned down in broad daylight.
Rescue crews airlifted the victims, who were shot several times, in serious condition to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
The martial arts teacher, 62-year-old Grand Master Instructor Young Soo Do, took several bullets in the abdominal area. Do has been teaching Tae Kwon Do for 20 years. "He's a great, outstanding man in the community. I mean that's what we can say about him. That's why I know the police officers are very concerned and all the students are very concerned for his well being," said Jorge Ardura.
The shooting happened behind his academy on 128th Street and West Dixie Highway. "They were found by the two cars, the yellow van and the black car. What they were doing, were not exactly sure. All we do know is that they we're in the parking lot, and they were shot," said North Miami Police Lt. Neil Cuevas.
Police have not released the identity of the second victim. He sustained bullet wounds to his leg and remains in serious condition along with Do.
According to witnesses, a man walked up to the victims and began shooting without making any demands. The subject then fled through an adjacent alleyway to a waiting Mercedes Benz. "We are currently looking for a black male, age unknown, who as wearing a white tank top, jean shorts and a mustache. He was seen running from this location," said Cuevas.
If you have any information on this shooting, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
