On Friday, Miami-Dade police verified that a deadly gunshot had occurred, and that the victim was driving a Toyota Camry. A five-year-old and a one-year-old toddler, as well as an adult woman, were also in the automobile. The woman and her children were not harmed in any way.

Alvaro Zabaleta, MDPD Public Information Officer, told CBS Miami: “Once officers arrived is when they discovered in a Toyota 4-door that the driver was suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Once fire rescue responded, they were able to pronounce the driver deceased here on the scene.”

At the entrance to the Deerwood subdivision, at the intersection of Southwest 152nd Street and 127th Avenue, the incident occurred. Zoo Miami is directly across the street from that entrance. The shots were allegedly fired from a grey Lexus, according to police.
