A man is dead after his car was riddled with bullets in a shooting in Miami-Dade's West Perrine neighborhood early Friday morning.

According to Miami-Dade Police, officers responded to the area near the 10000 block of W. Indigo Street before 3 a.m. after receiving a ShotSpotter alert. 

When officers arrived, they found a man inside of a car suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. 

"I looked at the car and I dialed 911 because I saw gunshots in the passenger side and the back window was shot completely out," one neighbor said. "I don't know what happened, who did what, or anything like that, but they dragged him out of the car."

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue transported the man to Jackson Memorial Hospital South in critical condition where he was pronounced dead, officials said.

NBC6 spoke to the victim's aunt who said she is distraught by the news of her nephew's death.

The aunt said the man was leaving his sister's house when he was shot inside the car and drove off down Hibiscus Street, where the car came to a stop.

While the man's identity hasn't been released, his aunt identified him to NBC6 as Calvin Dale, and he had six kids. She added that something needs to be done about the gun violence in this area.
