MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – One man is dead after a double shooting Sunday night in Miami Gardens.

Investigators are now try to figure out what led to the fatal gunfire.

Officers arrived at the scene to find an unresponsive Black man in the area.

He was taken to a hospital by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, but he was pronounced dead there.
