Death
Speed dies in the Season 3 opening episode, "Lost Son", after being mortally wounded during a gunfight in a jewellery store. He and Caine brace themselves for a fight, but Speedle's gun jams almost immediately, giving one of the thieves an opportunity to shoot him in the chest and heart. Caine calls for an ambulance, but Speedle succumbs to his injuries before help arrives, dying in Caine's arms. Speedle's death leaves the team, especially Caine and Delko, devastated.
Speedle's position on the team was later taken by Ryan Wolfe, a former Miami-Dade Police Department patrol officer.
