Police search for gunman in fatal Wynwood shooting

Thomas Quass, 41, killed after leaving nightclub

MIAMI – Miami police are looking for the person who killed Thomas Quass after he was shot early Saturday morning on Northwest 26th Street near North Miami Avenue.

Police said Quass, 41, and his girlfriend left a Wynwood nightclub and were walking to his car about 1:15 a.m. when a man approached them and had a confrontation with Quass. That man shot Quass and got away in a waiting gray 2013-2015 Hyundai Veloster.

"He was immediately transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where just minutes later he died," Officer Kenia Fallat said.

Police said the shooter was 5 feet 10 inches tall and 170 pounds. He wore a black and gray shirt, black pants and a black hat.

"We have a vague description, but we have a pretty good description of the vehicle that he was traveling in," Fallat said.

Police were seen going door to door with fliers in the neighborhood, hoping someone can lead them to Quass' killer.

"We do know that there is someone out there that perhaps knows information as to what took place," Fallat said.
