Members said they would meet up every Sunday at Bell’s Bicycle Shop to go out on a ride.

It was the meeting spot where Cargill was shot while apparently sitting in a car, which was seen with the back window blown out.

"(He had) a big heart, would do anything for you," said Cathcart. "If you need anything, he would help you out."

North Miami Beach police officers and crime scene investigators worked the scene, located at Northeast 163rd Street and 19th Avenue.
