One teenaged son of the senior Canadian diplomat in South Florida has been killed in a shootout in Miami.
Miami police said the 17 year-old son of Roxanne Dubé, a longtime diplomat who has previously served as Canada’s ambassador in Zimbabwe, was killed.
Dubé, who was appointed to head the Miami delegation at the Canadian consulate in Miami in November, has two sons, aged 17 and 15.
A Foreign Affairs spokesman in Ottawa, John Babcock, said late Tuesday the department was
“aware of reports of a serious incident involving a Canadian family in Miami” and said assistance was being provided to the family.
He declined further comment, saying “a full investigation is underway and we will continue assisting local authorities.”
However, a report from a Miami television station cites police as saying three people — Dubé’s sons and a local teenager — died after they were shot Monday afternoon at an apartment building in southwest Miami.
NBC reported that Dubé’s sons “showed up to buy or participate in some kind of drug activity and now one of them is dead and so is another 17 year old” by the name of Joshua Wright.
Jean and Marc arrived at the apartment in a vehicle with an official diplomatic licence plate from the Canadian consulate. Miami Police have impounded the government car.
Television images showed blood on the doorway and floor inside the apartment building, and paramedics wheeling one of the three people shot to a waiting ambulance.
The 17-year-old son later died in hospital from gunshot wounds, the NBC station reported, citing a “law enforcement source” who indicated that it was older Dubé who went into Wright’s apartment, while his younger brother remained in the consulate vehicle. The shooting started when the older teenager entered the apartment.
Canadian investigators were in Miami assisting Miami police with their investigation.
Dubé, who has a master’s degree in political science from the University of Ottawa, has had a long career in the diplomatic corps. From 1988 to 1996, she worked on Parliament Hill and then became legislative, cabinet and federal and provincial relations assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs until 1998.
Within the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, she has served as director, relations with Parliament and cabinet, as well as director and acting senior co-ordinator of federal-provincial and territorial Relations.
In 2005, Dubé was appointed Ambassador to Zimbabwe with concurrent accreditations to the Republic of Angola and the Republic of Botswana. From 2005 to 2008, she served as Canada’s special representative to the Southern African Development Community.
In September 2008, she took up the position of director general, corporate secretariat in the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in Ottawa, and later became director general of the Geographic Strategy and Services Bureau.
