MIAMI – Miami police are investigating after a man was shot and killed in the city’s Little Havana neighborhood early Tuesday morning.
According to Officer Kiara Delva, a department spokesperson, officers responded to the area of Southwest 12th Court and Eighth Street around 3:45 a.m. after receiving a ShotSpotter alert.
She said officers found a man in his late 30s with an apparent gunshot wound.
According to Delva, the victim was initially inside a car, but he got out of the vehicle at some point and got into a fight with another man before being shot.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have not yet released his identity.
“What (detectives) have gathered so far is that it appears that the victim was involved in some sort of physical altercation involving another male subject before he was shot,” Delva said. “Detectives are still canvassing the area, they’re still walking up and down the street to verify if any witnesses possibly saw what transpired here today.”
Local 10 News obtained surveillance video showing the victim’s car driving down the street with a possible second car seen driving in the opposite direction. It’s still unclear whether that car is connected to the shooting.
Anyone with further information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
