NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A grieving South Florida family shared their pain, days after their loved one was shot dead.

According to Miami-Dade Police, a friend discovered the bodies of 25-year-old Mark Cine and a co-worker inside an apartment unit near Northwest 25th Avenue and 92nd Street in Northwest Miami-Dade, Wednesday night.

Speaking with 7News on Sunday, Cine’s mother and brother said they don’t understand why someone took his life.

“My heart is tearing apart. I haven’t slept — I think maybe an hour or two hours — because every time I close my eyes, I see my son,” said Dina Cine, the victim’s mother, “and then I’m just wondering how was he feeling at that moment, what was going through his mind, what happened. I don’t know what happened. I just want to know what happened, and I just want to know why.”

“He was just trying to be the best version of himself,” said Matthew Cine, the victim’s brother, “and he was loving. He was always there for me, anything I needed.”

The Cine family created a GoFundMe account to help with funeral expenses. Click here if you would like to donate.
