Gamaly Hollis‘ 21-year-old son Richard Hollis was shot and killed by a Miami-Dade police officer in 2022.
A mother is facing charges for allegedly stalking a Miami-Dade police officer who shot and killed her son back in 2022.
It’s been two years since 21-year-old Richard Hollis, a man with a history of mental health issues, was shot and killed by officer Jamie Pino.

As reported by NBC Miami, residents dialled 911 after hearing a violent dispute inside Hollis’s apartment. According to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, Pino noticed Hollis holding „two nine-inch chef knives in an aggressive manner.“
Pino claims he tased the man, but it had no effect. The officer later fatally shot Hollis. The medical examiner’s office ruled his cause of death to be gunshot wounds. He had six different entrance wounds.
The state attorneys ruled Pino was doing his job and the deadly force was justifiable, a conclusion the victim’s mother, Gamaly Hollis disagrees with.
