Witnesses thought woman stabbed at Art Basel was performance art

The entire incident occurred as a crowd looked on from across the street.

In a recent change of protocol, Oates said, the Miami-Dade Police Department will investigate the shooting, “in the interest of transparency”.

Witnesses said they could see the man causing a commotion inside the barber shop. He then exited the shop with a “straight edge razor in his hand”.

“Some visitors believed that the attack was part of a performance of contemporary art. Others believed that the security cordon set up by police around an area in the convention center was part of an art installation, ” points the Miami Herald. The women apparently had gotten into a scuffle near an exhibit by the artist Naomi Fisher.

The two women were both patrons of the show, police say.

An argument between two women allegedly turned violent, and one of the females suffered stab wounds to the arms and neck. Rudy Perez, a fellow artist, showed Fisher a picture he had snapped on his cellphone of a woman wearing a white shirt, covered in blood. The FBI and Miami Beach Police Department will be investigating the bank robbery. “I feel nauseous”, she said. Zhao is now facing an attempted murder charge. She was taken to a nearby hospital and is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

He gave the bank teller a hand-written note that said he had a bomb and demanded $20’s, $50’s and $100’s, according to federal investigators.

Police didn’t release the name of the suspect or the officer involved in the shooting.
