SOUTH MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are investigating a deadly shooting in South Miami-Dade.
The shooting occurred in the area of Southwest 165th Avenue and 288th Lane, just before 4:40 a.m., Friday, in front of a home with three blue high-priced vehicles in the driveway.
There was a report of three shots fired before a man was found dead outside of a home.
According to Miami-Dade Police, a family member saw the gunman and victim firing at each other before police arrived.
Neighbors woke up to the sound of the gunfire, and police responded to a ShotSpotter alert.
“At first I thought someone or something’s tapping in the back window,” said a man who didn’t want to be identified. “I heard about four or five pops.”
A woman in the neighborhood said the area isn’t as safe as it used to be, commenting, “I’m not surprised.”
Investigators said the killer took off after the shots were fired, but they remain unsure if he was on foot or got into a vehicle.
“All we have for now is a black male subject. He was wearing a ski mask and all the clothing was camouflage,” said a dispatcher.
The area was blocked off as crime scene technicians worked into the night, searching the house for any clues that could lead to the killer.
If you have any information on this fatal shooting, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
