A man was killed Tuesday afternoon after he was shot in the Naranja area of Miami-Dade, deputies said.
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the scene at Southwest 268th Street and 139th Avenue shortly after 1:30 p.m. after receiving a ShotSpotter gunshot alert.
Once at the scene, deputies found the victim lying on the ground suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
The man was then transported to a hospital in critical condition. MDSO said the man later died from his injuries.
He was identified as 35-year-old GTN.
While investigators said they don’t have information to share about the shooter, deputies had one man in handcuffs and put him inside their SUV.
Detectives were seen searching a wooded area, where LM says many homeless people live.
“I know a lot of them, a lot of them I don’t know, but I see them every day,” M said. “They just came back about two months ago because the city or the county got them from back there, so it might have lasted a year, and they started coming back about two months ago.”
M said he lives near where the man was shot. The thought of gun violence in his neighborhood has never crossed his mind.
“I kind of figured it be violence out there, but it never got to that extreme where somebody killed somebody,” M said. “I ain’t expect nobody to get shot, you don’t hear nothing back there, you don’t hear no shooting or nothing.”
