Miami Neighbors Upset After Man Gunned Down In Front Of Home

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Residents of one Miami neighborhood are upset after a man was shot and killed there overnight.

It happened Monday, around 12:30 a.m., in front of a home at NW 43rd Avenue and 14th Street in the Graceland Heights neighborhood.

One resident said she heard at least six gunshots.

"First of all, very sad during the holidays. His parents, what's happening, did somebody just drive by, is it someone from the home. I am actually shaking. I live two blocks away. It's very concerning," said Kathia Camacho.

Camacho was horrified that such a thing could happen in her neighborhood.

"I understand that it was a 35-year-old man that was found shot in the middle of the street," she said. "I'm just concerned because my husband is flying out of town tomorrow and I'm going to be alone for a week. It's a shame what's happening because this has always been a good neighborhood."
