"All we saw was a man sitting in his car, and he appeared to be dead. But other than that, police didn't tell us anything," Sater said.

Miami police said the man, identified by relatives as Orlando Miret Jr., was pronounced dead at the scene.

The car was towed away with the body still inside.

"This is not the first time something shady has happened in this neighborhood, so I think it's time to move," Sater said.
