MIAMI (WSVN) - Family and friends gathered for a memorial, Wednesday night, to remember a man who died from gunfire earlier in the day.

The candlelight vigil was held for the victim who was gunned down by a shooter who aimed at the car he was in, early Wednesday morning.

The vigil took place in the area where the victim was shot, along Southwest 27th Lane and 37th Avenue. He was driving a black Honda at the time when the shooter took aim and fired at him.

His car could be seen riddled with bullet holes as it was towed away.

Friends of the victim are shocked to know he’s gone. “I don’t understand why,” said Deby Lopez. “No reason. There’s no reason. He’s friends with everybody. Everybody’s friends with him. I wouldn’t’ have any clue who would want to hurt him.”

Police are searching for any leads to find the shooter.
