Miami-Dade Police are asking for help in finding a 19-year-old who is wanted for first-degree murder after allegedly shooting a man in front of his mother and one-year-old son.

The incident happened back on May 29 in the 500 block of Northwest 3rd Avenue.

According to the police, the victim was outside on the front lawn of his house with his mother and son when Monico Galban approached on foot and shot the victim.

“Well, yes, it was like two more times, like a machine gun, about 20 or 30 bullets, it was twice and then it was like five or six bullets and one by one,” said Henry Carrillo, a witness who was nearby.

The victim was taken to the Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center, where, despite the best medical efforts to save him, succumbed to his injuries days later, per the report.

Police didn't release the victim's identity or give a possible motive for the shooting.

Detectives’ efforts to locate the subject have been futile and they are asking anyone with any information to please contact The MDPD Homicide Bureau at 305-471-2400 or Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).
