A man was killed and three people were hospitalized following a drive-by shooting in a Homestead neighborhood Sunday evening.

The shooting took place just before 4 p.m. in the 700 block of Southwest 6th Street, Miami-Dade Police officials said.

Officers responded after a Shot Spotter alert led them to a home in the area and they found three men and one woman suffering from gunshot wounds.

One man, 24-year-old Dontravis Byrd, died at the scene.

The other three victims, a woman and two men were taken to Jackson South Medical Center in stable condition. They were identified as 29-year-old Shanice Byrd, 20-year-old Lamar Kendall, and 24-year-old Dyvon Smith.

Footage from the scene showed dozens of evidence markers on the ground near bullet casings. Police said the barrage of bullets came from a vehicle.

"The preliminary investigation revealed that the victims were exiting a residence when the vehicle approached them and shots were fired from the vehicle," Miami-Dade Police Det. Angel Rodriguez said.

The vehicle fled the scene before officers arrived. Investigators said they need the public's help to find the killer or killers on the run.

"Detectives do not have a whole lot of information so that’s why we’re asking anyone with information to please call our CrimeStoppers tip line," Rodriguez said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
