More than three weeks ago, a man was shot while waiting to enter his Northeast Miami-Dade synagogue but now police have made an arrest.

Carlints St. Louis, of Hallandale Beach, was arrested Tuesday for the July 28 shooting of Yosef Lipshutz.

Police say St. Louis was driving a black Chevy Impala when he pulled up in front of the Young Israel of Greater Miami Temple at NE 10th Avenue and 171st Street and shot Lipshutz in the legs.

According to the arrest report, St. Louis got out of the vehicle, took a “shooting stance” while pointing a gun at the victim and opened fire before getting back in the car and driving away.

In addition, the report states, St. Louis returned to the synagogue on multiple occasions while in a different vehicle after the shooting.

St. Louis is charged with attempted murder with a firearm, aggravated battery on a person 65 years or older, and discharging a firearm from a vehicle, according to the arrest report.

He remains in jail without bond.

The victim is recovering.

Police have not released a motive for the shooting.
