MIAMI – Family members of a man who was fatally shot Sunday after being seriously injured in a drive-by shooting this summer asked for the public's help in finding his killer.
Terry Brown, 44, was gunned down in the Liberty Square area of Miami on Sunday.
"Just for anyone to come up and do what they did to him like that, I don't like that. I want justice to be served," said Shandrea Butler, Brown's stepdaughter.
"I know someone – everyone who laid eyes on him getting killed that midmorning, everyone who actually saw the triggerman, the fool that did that to my only brother. Terry, I'm your sister Karen, and I'm going to make sure justice be served," said Brown's sister, Karen Clark Hadley.
Police said Brown was outside, talking to another man at the time of the shooting. He could not get away from the shooter because he was using a wheelchair after being injured in a drive-by shooting in June. In that case, Brown was caught in some crossfire as he was leaving a convenience store.
"Terry went into the store to buy a soda. He came out and got back on his bike, and as he was getting on the bike, they drove up and just opened fire," Hadley said.
"These offenders came up to him, and they shot him coldly in the street. It was a brutal and heinous crime," said Detective Eldys Diaz, of the Miami Police Department.
Police said that in both cases, Brown was in the wrong place at the wrong time. In Sunday's shooting, police said, the gunfire did not hit the intended target and struck down Brown instead.
Brown, a landscaper, leaves behind five children, all under age 12.
