“We’re still awaiting toxicology reports this morning,” Det. Javier Baez, a Miami Dade Police Department spokesman told the Miami New Times on Wednesday (September 4).
Baez has not confirmed whether the man who was killed was in fact Norman Oosterbroek.
Oosterbroek reportedly founded the RAD Security bodyguard agency, and was a bodyguard for Jay Z, Kanye West, Drake, Lady Gaga and other celebrities and public figures, according to Miami New Times and other outlets including NBC’s Miami affiliate NBC6 and Miami Herald.
