MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – A homicide investigation is underway by Miami Gardens police after a man was found shot to death, lying on the pavement Friday morning.
The shooting occurred at the Villas Del Lago Apartments at 21080 NW 14th Place.
“He was laying here -- like he was laying there and I thought that’s unusual. It’s an unusual place to be laying, even if you’re drunk, it’s unusual,” said the resident who discovered the man on the ground and who did not want to be identified.
The woman said she saw the man around 6:30 a.m. as she was leaving to drop her teenage sons off at school.
“He’s not breathing, cars are passing him by, he’s not moving, and then from where I was sitting, you could see something on his chest,” she said.
After realizing that he wasn’t getting up, she called 911.
“I let them know that I don’t think he’s breathing, he doesn’t look like he has any movements, and maybe he’s drunk or maybe something can be seriously wrong with him,” she said.
Neighbors were shocked to see this right outside their doors.
The name and age of the victim have not been released. Police say the investigation is still ongoing.
