That man was found by deputies answering a call at Southwest 67th Avenue and Bird Road, about a mile west of Coral Gables, around 8:45 p.m. Other calls about armed robberies and carjackings came from Southwest 137th Avenue and Miller Road and a Chevron at Southwest 157th Avenue and Kendall Drive. Those victims were in stable condition, MDSO said, when taken to a hospital.
