NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are searching for the person or people responsible for opening fire on a driver in a Northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood, causing him to crash into several vehicles.
Miami-Dade Police and Fire Rescue units responded to the scene near Northwest 106th Street and 11th Avenue, Wednesday, just before 9:30 p.m.
Investigators said 28-year-old Jorge Valle was driving in the area when he was shot. The victim then lost control of his car and crashed into two cars before coming to a stop.
Police said Valle was dead by the time officers responded to the scene.
7News cameras captured the damaged vehicles parked in front of a home, Friday afternoon.
Two days after the incident, neighbors are still talking about it.
A longtime area resident who asked not to be identified or show her face on camera said she heard a loud noise on the night of the incident.
“I was sitting in my house watching television when I heard a loud ‘bam,'” she said.
When family members went outside, they saw the victim’s vehicle had crashed into their cars.
“We heard a loud boom inside, so when my nephew came and said, ‘Did you hear that loud boom?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He rushed out of the house,” said the area resident. “These two cars were parked just right there.”
Police officers went door-to-door handing out fliers with a photo of Valle on Thursday.
“I don’t know what happened. I just heard that he was killed. He was shot,” said a woman. “I don’t think he lives in this area.”
“Thirty-five years I’ve lived here, and I’ve never seen nothing like this in my entire life,” said the area resident.
