Authorities are investigating after one man was killed and another injured in a shooting outside a Miami club early Monday.

The shooting happened just after midnight outside the Tipico Dominicano Club and Restaurant at Northwest 13th Avenue and 36th Street.

According to Miami Police, Wilmen Diaz and a woman were leaving the club when they were approached by 39-year-old Michael Anthony Lawrence and 27-year-old Marcell Donell Brown.

Some sort of confrontation ensued between Diaz and the two men "causing Mr. Diaz to produce a firearm and shoot at the males striking them both," police said in a statement.

Lawrence and Brown were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, and Lawrence died at the hospital and Brown sustained a gunshot wound to his left hand. He is in good condition, police said.

Diaz was in custody, but no arrest was made.
