A six-foot-seven man called "Big Baby" is a person of interest in the shooting deaths of two men in Miami Friday night.

Miami Police said the two men, Franco Rodriguez, 39, and Manual Suarez, 32, were shot in their SUV while parked at a light at NE 1st AVe. and NE 10th St. just before 6:30 p.m.

Police said the shots came from a blue Chevy Malibu, which fled the scene.

The two had reportedly been in a fight earlier at a strip club, and "Big Baby" was seen on a surveillance video, right in the middle of the fight.

Rodriguez's sister, Marjie Torres, made an emotional plea yesterday for witnesses to come forward.

"Let the police do their job, come forward because these monsters have destroyed our lives, completely destroyed the children's lives," Torres said. "What are we gonna tell them, can they ever go back to having anything normal?"
