Police are investigating a deadly early morning shooting that left a man dead inside the lobby of a Miami apartment building Thursday.
Miami Police Department Commander Freddie Cruz said the shooting took place just before 2 a.m. inside the building located near the intersection of Northeast 26th Street and Biscayne Boulevard.
Cruz told NBC 6 investigators believe an argument in the lobby of the building led to the shooting, with a man in his 20s dying at the scene. Officials have not released the victim’s identity.
Police have reportedly taken one person of interest into custody, but have not released information on that person or said if they are a suspect and are currently still interviewing witnesses.

Cruz said investigators believe it was an isolated incident.
"This is very uncommon for this area," Cruz said. "We haven't had a homicide in this area for a long time, so it's very concerning for us."
