TIE LONGER" \GENT AIR FREIGHT SERVICES > MORE THAN Young blacks riot in Miami Promised government funds missed United Press International MIAMI— Blacks went on a rampage in Liberty City Tuesday night and early Wednesday in the second outbreak of racial violence in two months, leaving 31 people injured including five policemen and a black youth shot by a sniper. The city was reported quiet Wednesday. Police barricades around the 170-square-block area came down at 7 a. m. “It’s quiet but we still have heavy manpower in the area,” said Dade County Police spokesman Ray Southerland. The violence broke out Tuesday afternoon as police tried to arrest three youths caught robbing a white motorist, police said. One officer was shot in the hack. Blacks — many apparently armed with guns looted during the three days of rioting in May that took 18 lives and caused an estimated $100 million damage — tossed rocks at passing cars, broke store windows, burned one gas station and halted a freight train. The violence continued until about 4 a.m., Southerland said. “Somewhere around a dozen” arrests were made, he said, most for breaking and entering, burglary and similar charges. At least 31 people were injured, most of them cut or bruised by rocks and bottles hurled at their cars, he said. A 15-year-old boy was shot in the back, apparently by a sniper’s bullet, as he and a companion fled from police tear gas shortly after midnight, Southerland said. The youth, Tony Anthony Darling, was driven to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s emergency room and left at the front door. He was in serious condition today after surgery. Southerland said there was no gunfire by police in breaking up the disturbance in which Darling was injured. About 3:30 a.m. someone moved a trash dumpster onto railroad tracks and halted a Florida East Coast Railway freight train on the outskirts of a warehouse district, Southerland said. “People started sniping at the train. We have a report a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the engine and the engineer was injured,” he said. A Hialeah Hospital spokesman said the train engineer, whose name was not available, was treated for “superficial injuries” and released. “I saw people with guns, I looked right at them, ” said Georgia Ayres, one of several Black Community Relations activists trying to bring calm to the area. “These are mainly young people and they insist they still have their missiles (weapons, etc.),” she said after a tour of the area about 1 a.m. Trying to explain the renewal of May 17-19 violence that left 18 dead, hundreds injured and more than $100 million in damage, another black community leader said, “The anger is focused at the police and just general community conditions,” Federal, state and county officials have promised over $100 million in aid to rebuild the area, but Marvin Dunn, a vice president at Florida International University, said the impact of promised aid from Washington “hasn’t drifted down to this community. People are still very upset.” “The community can’t continue like this,” he said. “It’s just too traumatic for the black community and too frightening for the white community.” The latest violence was touched off by police attempts to arrest three black juveniles caught in an attempted robbery of a white motorist Tuesday afternoon. The three suspects ran into a public housing complex where three plainclothes officers grabbed two of them. As the youths were being collared about 3:30 p.m., they hollered for help, a crowd gathered and a shot was fired. A bullet struck Sgt. Fred Pelny, 39, an eight-year veteran of the county police force, in the back. He was rushed to a hospital where his condition was reported good early today. News spread like wildfire through the sprawling Liberty City area. Within two hours, gangs of young blacks began tearing up road signs and trashing the streets. Scores gathered in and around a shopping mall along N.W. 27th Avenue between 75th and 79th streets. Police used tear gas to disperse them. 35hmlku-tl WPUIN EDUCATIONAL CENTER Test Preparation Specialists Since 1938 For information, Please Call: 696-3196 CLASSES START 7-20-80 IN DALLAS: 11617 N.
