Police are investigating after a man was found shot to death inside a car in North Miami Monday morning.

The incident happened in the area of Northwest 127th Street and 13th Avenue around 1 a.m.

North Miami Police spokesman Maj. Neal Cuevas said the man was shot multiple times. The car, a Volkswagen Jetta, was riddled with bullet holes on the driver's side door.

Neighbors nearby said they heard several gunshots in the early hours of the morning.

"I was laying down and I heard five bullet shots going off, after that it stopped and another three went off," said Gerald Joseph, who lives two blocks away. "When I heard it I knew the person got killed because you never hear that much bullet shots for the person not to get hurt."

The victim hasn't been identified and police haven't given a description of the suspect.

"It is scary because I have kids, because that could happen to anybody, I'll be sitting in my car sometime," Joseph said.
