Police are investigating after a man who was found shot in a parking lot in Wynwood early Thursday died, officials said.

Miami Police officials said officers responded to two ShotSpotter alerts at 3500 North Miami Avenue shortly after 4 a.m. and found a man who'd been shot multiple times at the scene.

The man, identified as 24-year-old Demarco Harris, was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he died from his injuries. His identity hasn't been released.

The parking lot is attached to a cocktail bar and restaurant, but police don't believe the victim was linked to any of the nearby businesses, saying he wasn't dressed for a night out.

"We still haven't identified him, we're trying to locate a next of kin, get more information to see why at 4 o'clock in the morning he was behind us in this private parking lot, where it wasn't well lit, and what was he doing here with the suspect or suspects in this case," Miami Police spokesman Michael Vega said.

Officers searched the scene for a suspect or possible second victim but weren't able to locate anyone, but did find a pair of sandals on the ground that were either from a second victim or a suspect, Vega said.

The incident remains under investigation.
