"A lot to investigate in this case, there's a lot of witnesses that were present, we know that these bars were existing at 3 a.m., so there was a large crowd outside," Vega said.
NBC6 spoke with a witness who said he was in the area when he heard gunshots.
"About 10 gunshots firing back and forth, next thing you know you see people running, cars skirting off," said the witness. "I was saying to myself yesterday there is no tomorrow and for somebody there really is no tomorrow and it's very unfortunate."
A woman told NBC6 that her niece was the victim who was struck by a bullet and was killed.
She said her niece was celebrating her birthday and was in a car and tried to drive away when they saw the man with a gun.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is expected to take over the investigation, which is standard whenever there is a police-involved shooting.
