Police are investigating an early morning shooting that left one man dead inside a North Miami residential building Thursday.

Officers arrived at the Next Step residential complex located at Northeast 6th Avenue and 134th Street where the shooting took place just after 4:30 a.m.

Police confirmed the body of one male victim was found who was shot in the neck, but would not release his identity at this time.

Investigators said they spoke with one person of interest and had interviewed other witnesses, but would not confirm if any arrests had been made.

“What we have is one person who is in police custody that’s a person of interest, and they’re being questioned at the time," said Commander Kessler Brooks from the North Miami Police Department.

Police believe the shooter and the victim may have known each other.

“It wasn't a case of..someone just coming up. We don’t think it was a robbery, we don’t think it was unknown persons," said Brooks.
