MIAMI – A man was killed Thursday morning in a shooting at an apartment building in Miami, and two others were injured, authorities confirmed.
The shooting was reported at 6:23 a.m. at 4271 NW S. Tamiami Canal Dr.
“My friend called me this morning, said there was a body outside of her room,” one man told Local 10′s Annaliese Garcia.
Miami police Officer Kiara Delva, who is a spokeswoman for the police department, said officers arrived at the scene and found one person who had been shot.
“Once officers arrived on scene, they did locate an adult Hispanic male suffering from gunshot wounds,” she said.
Delva said the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.
