Man shot and killed in Overtown

Miami, Florida – Authorities are looking into a fatal shooting that happened in Miami’s Overtown neighborhood and claimed the life of one guy. The perpetrator(s) of the shooting are still at large.

The victim’s bicycle, which looked to be sitting on the sidewalk, was surrounded by a number of dozen yellow evidence markers.

Around midnight, a shooting took place near Northwest 3rd Avenue and 11th Street.
