Man killed in shooting at apartment complex near North Miami, MDSO says
A man was killed in an early Tuesday morning shooting at a Northeast Miami-Dade apartment complex, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said.
According to MDSO, around 6 a.m. deputies were sent to check out reports of a shooting at the complex at NE 151 Street and NE 6 Avenue, near North Miami. When the officers arrived, they found a man outside of building who had been shot. The man has been identified as 38-year-old Romainson Joseph, according to the sheriff's office.
"Someone must have called about the gunshots. That's when they identified the victim lying on the ground," Miami-Dade Sheriff's Deputy Joseph Peguero said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived and determined that Joseph was dead.
The sheriff's office said at this time they do not have information on the person who shot him.
"At this moment, we don't have much information, we have no subject information. We are asking the community, it was early on in the morning, if you heard anything or have any video, please step forward with that information," Peguero said.
Homicide investigators are looking into what led to the shooting.
