A man was killed and two others were injured in a shooting in Little Havana early Wednesday, police said. Detectives are searching for a suspect.
Officers responded around 3:30 a.m. to a ShotSpotter call that alerted them to several rounds of gunfire in the area of 26 NW Eighth Ave. Then a call came in about a man shot.
Due to 2 persons shot and a 3rd person deceased on scene, we have closed off N.W. 8 Ave from W. Flagler St. to N.W. 1 St. Please avoid the area. If anyone has information on the shooting, you are urged to call 305-579-6111 or @CrimeStopper305pic.twitter.com/Gjb1DLPoGQ
When officers got there, they found three men with bullet wounds. One was dead, police said. Video taken by NBC6 shows him covered in a yellow tarp on the ground next to a car.
Miami Fire Rescue took the other two men to Jackson Memorial Hospital in stable condition.
Detectives say a suspect had ran from the area but they do not have a physical description of the person yet.
On Wednesday afternoon, Miami Police spokesperson Michael Vega told the Miami Herald that detectives no longer consider this to be a drive-by shooting, which was earlier reported, because the suspect was not in a car.
Miami police are asking for people in the area who have surveillance cameras to review their footage, in case they recorded something that could be useful in the investigation.
They are also asking any witnesses to come forward if they have information.
Anyone with info on the shooting is asked to call 305-579-6111 or contact Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers at 866-471-TIPS. You can remain anonymous.
