Darion Rosas Delgado, 37, was taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon, identified by police as the suspect who shot and killed the victim. 

Police say Delgado was found driving in the area of West 4th Avenue and 18th Street in Hialeah when he was arrested without incident. 

Few details have been released on exactly what happened, but officers say they received several 911 calls before 6:30 a.m. from people who reported hearing about 10 gunshots in the area of West 56th Street near the Palmetto Expressway.

Police said that officers arrived at the scene in about a minute and found a Hispanic man in his 60s dead on a sidewalk.

CBS News Miami spoke to a woman who says she is the victim's aunt. She says that she lived with the man, his wife, and their teenage daughter. She describes him as a hardworking family man who arrived from Cuba around two years ago.

The investigation continues, with police saying they are working to determine the motive of the shooting and why Delgado targeted the victim. The identity of the victim has not yet been revealed.
