NORTH MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A man accused of shooting another in the chest at a North Miami-Dade courtyard has turned himself in to police.
Police said 18-year-old Willie Payne was seen on surveillance video arguing with other young men at an apartment complex located near Northwest 27th Avenue and 46th Street on Sept. 1.
The video shows, what police said, is Payne trying to walk away as a teen followed him. Then, as another individual tried to break up the confrontation, things took a turn for the worst.
That’s when one of the men pulled out a gun and shot another in the chest at point-blank range. The victim was seen grabbing his chest as he walked out of the frame.
Payne turned himself in to police and appeared in bond court Tuesday morning, though for a different crime.
“The warrant was for Broward County, and there’s no bond set on your case,” Judge Renatha Francis said, “so I am going to set your case for 15 days, just to make sure that they come to pick you up. They have until Oct. 17 to come and get you.”
The victim was treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital and has since been released.
No one else was injured during the confrontation.
