A 20-year-old man died after someone in a moving car shot him in Miramar, according to police.

The drive-by shooting happened at around 11:45 a.m. Tuesday in the 3200 block of Southwest 66th Way, Miramar police spokesman Tania Ordaz said. Wednesday, police identified the man as Ernst Valcourt from the Golden Glades area in northwest Miami-Dade County.

No arrests have been made, Ordaz confirmed Wednesday, and the investigation is ongoing.

A white car parked on a nearby driveway appeared to have multiple bullet holes in its front windshield, helicopter footage from Miami Herald news partner CBS News Miami showed. Local 10 reported the two-door car is a Bentley coupe.

Anyone with information on Valcourt’s slaying should contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
