MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are investigating a road rage incident in Miami Gardens that left a man dead.
Miami Gardens Police and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units on Saturday responded to a call on the 2000 block of Northwest 175th Street. Their preliminary investigation revealed it was a possible case of road rage.
Responding officers arrived to find the victim inside a gray Honda Civic suffering from gunshot wounds.
The victim, now identified as Demoy Peart, was transported by paramedics to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The subject remained at the scene and was taken into custody.
7News on Monday spoke to Ella Brown, a neighbor who said the shooting happened in front of her house.
“One of the cars, the parked car, had the windshield of the driver side shattered,” said the Brown. “According to my husband, there was a person laying on the street. Now, you begin to think, be more careful. People come and stop in front of the house. And I will be, and I’m asking him to be more aware, more conscious.”
It’s unclear as to what led up to the deadly confrontation, but the road rage rampage has put a quiet Miami Gardens neighborhood on edge. Detectives are still looking into the cause of the shooting, but Miami Gardens Police said all charges are still pending as of Monday evening.
Christina Peart, the victim’s sister, has set up a GoFundMe page in the wake of the tragic incident. If you wish to donate and help with funeral and memorial expenses, click here.
