MIAMI (WSVN) - Police said they are investigating a deadly shooting in Miami that took place during a possible break-in.
According to City of Miami Police, one person was found dead at a home on the 4600 block of Northwest Fifth Avenue, Monday morning.
Investigators said officers were called to the home at around 5 a.m. regarding a shooting involving an individual believed to have been an intruder.
Miami Fire Rescue units responded to the residence and pronounced a man believed to be in his 40s deceased at the scene.
“The reason we responded here is as a result of a 911 call of a man that had been shot. A person believed to be an intruder may have been the person that was shot,” said Miami Police Officer Kenia Fallat.
Authorities have detained one person for questioning in connection with the incident.
Judy Winter, who lives just down the street from where it all happened, said many of her neighbors have several questions about their safety now.
“Very upsetting. Everybody living around here would like to get some questions answered: was it just a random invasion or was there a reason behind it?” said Winter.
Najeeb Campbell told 7News he knows the man who was detained, describing him as a good neighbor who rents a cottage in the back of the property.
“Hopefully everything is settled and he’s OK ’cause he said he defended himself so that’s a good thing,” said Campbell.
Authorities say they’re still working to find those answers.
“There’s a lot we still don’t know. Thus far, what we can say is one person is deceased, another person we’re speaking with at the station that can paint a better picture as to what took place here early this morning,” said Fallat.
On Monday evening, the deceased individual’s body was removed from the home as officials continue working to determine what occurred.
Authorities have not released the identity of either individual involved in the incident.
The situation remains under investigation.
