The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is investigating after they said a 17-year-old girl was found dead outside of a home late Monday night.
The home is located in the 10700 block of Northeast Second Avenue near Miami Shores.
Investigators said the victim had been visiting her boyfriend, who lives at the residence.
The victim’s brother, who arrived at the scene after the death was reported, was heard telling police, “They don’t want to open the door, and they said my sister is dead!”
The emotional scene escalated when the man, visibly shaken, briefly held a gun before putting it away to knock on the door.
MDSO said detectives worked through the night into Tuesday morning, sealing off the busy street as they investigated the death.
Neighbor VP said he didn’t hear any disturbances before noticing the police presence.
“Pretty much quiet — I never heard anything,” P said.
P said a woman and her adult son and daughter live next door to him. He was prompted to look outside after seeing emergency responders.
“When the ambulance came, I was watching out the window to see if they were going to bring somebody out or something, and I noticed they didn’t bring anybody out, and I was thinking ‘this has to be serious,’” he added.
Deputies confirmed that a man was detained for questioning.
The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office is working to determine the teenager’s cause of death, and authorities have not yet released the name of the person detained in connection with the case.
