A man has died after authorities said he was shot in the face in West Little River early Thursday, and authorities are searching for the suspect.
The shooting happened in the area of Northwest 89th Street and Northwest 22nd Avenue.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to the area when they received a ShotSpotter alert at 3:51 a.m.
There, they found the victim, 37-year-old JB, and rushed him to the hospital.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said B had suffered a gunshot to the face. He was pronounced dead.
One witness said he heard the gunshots ring out.
“It was a lot. He unloaded. Whoever did this shooting unloaded,” the man said. “I’m telling you, it was like 15 to 20 shots.”
The man, who didn’t want his name used, lives down the block from where the shooting happened and said shootings are common in the neighborhood.
“You’re used to this in this neighborhood. You want to go inside. You don’t want to catch a stray bullet,” he said. “They hang out there all night long. There’s people hanging there and making noise all day long. It’s gonna happen. There’s a shooting today, they’ll be another shooting tomorrow. It’s just the neighborhood we live in and it’s a shame.”
A police investigation is underway.
