MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A man died at the hospital after a shooting on Thursday in northwestern Miami-Dade County, deputies said.
Deputies responded to the shooting shortly after 11:40 a.m. in the area of Northwest Seventh Avenue and 155 Lane, according to Detective Joseph R. Peguero Rivera, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
There was crime scene tape in the parking lot of the Parkway Towers Condominium, a community near Miami-Dade County’s public park-and-ride lot in Golden Glades.
A man who lives at the condominium and said he was afraid reported hearing men arguing loudly and fighting before hearing two to three gun shots and seeing a man running.
After deputies found 25-year-old Izayah Gaffney Lilavois on the ground, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel responded and determined his condition was critical and he needed hospitalization, according to Peguero Rivera.
M-DFR reported using a helicopter to fly Lilavois to the North Trauma Center. Deputies said a doctor pronounced him dead at the hospital.
M-DSO deputies arrested a suspect, who they identified Friday as 23-year-old Derrick Terrell Ates II.
His charges and bond information wasn’t immediately available.
