MIAMI (WSVN) - Police are searching for the person responsible for a shooting in a City of Miami neighborhood that left a man dead.
City of Miami Police said they received reports of shots fired near Northwest 14th Street and 34th Avenue, at around 12:30 a.m., Monday.
7News cameras captured a Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s van as it pulled up to the scene.
One woman who lives about a block away said she heard at least five shots ring out at around 12:35 a.m.
When she went outside, she said, police were already surrounding the body.
Kathia Camacho said she didn’t hear any shots but was blocked from getting home by the crime tape police put up.
“My husband goes ahead, and he leaves work at 12 o’clock,” she said. “It happened right here, a block and a half away, so all of this is just mind-boggling.”
Medical examiners removed the body from the scene just after 8 a.m.
Crime scene investigators worked in the rain to gather any evidence left behind.
Detectives said the victim is a male who is about 35 years old.
“It’s alarming, and it’s very sad during the holidays,” said Camacho. “I’m scared, you know. I hope that they find the person.”
If you have any information on this shooting, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $1,000 reward.
