Detectives took cover, then a man was killed on a sidewalk in Brownsville, police say
A man died in the Brownsville area Tuesday morning after a shooting just a block away from where officers were working another case, Miami-Dade police said.
Just after 10:40 a.m., detectives took cover after hearing shots go off, police said. Then they saw a man running on Northwest 44th Street from 27 Avenue.
The detectives heard even more shots, and later found the man collapsed on the sidewalk. A white SUV and a box truck were seen in the area, police said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and pronounced the dead man on the sidewalk.
Sometime later, a vehicle matching the box truck was stopped in Hialeah. Detectives are in the process of figuring out if it was involved in the shooting.
No officer fired a weapon or was injured during the shooting, police said.
This developing story will be updated.
