Man who discharged firearm on Palmetto Expressway arrested

MIAMI (WSVN) – A man who filmed himself firing his gun out the window along the Palmetto Expressway has turned himself in.

Nelson Alejandro Perez-Valdivia was escorted into Turner Guilford Knight (TGK) Detention Center around 8:30 a.m., Monday.

Florida Highway Patrol said Perez-Valdivia turned himself in after he posted a video of himself shooting a firearm from inside a Lamborghini on the state road while another man sped on the highway.

At some points in the video, the driver was even seen going 111 miles an hour.

Troopers spent the weekend looking for Perez-Valdivia who they say was being reckless.

Perez-Valdivia posted these videos to his Instagram stories where he also shared videos of him and his friends partying before and after firing those shots.

There were no injuries.

7News found that Perez-Valdivia was arrested for another crime where he improperly displayed a gun back in January of this year.

He faces several charges including discharging a firearm from a vehicle and his bond is set at $112,000.

Perez-Valdivia has not appeared before a judge for this case yet.
