Police are investigating a shooting in a Wynwood neighborhood that claimed the life of one man late Tuesday night.

Miami Police said the shooting took place just after 11 p.m. in the 200 block of Northwest 34th Terrace.

Officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert of several rounds being fired in the area and found a man in his 20s who'd been shot in the chest.

The victim was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center where he later died.

"Bad, sad, scary. I didn't even want to come out when I heard the shots," neighbor Jose Colon said.

Police haven't released the man's identity but neighbors said he was a 21-year-old man who lived in the area.

“I see him come out, and then there was like two neighbors, he said 'Hi' to them and they say 'Hi' back and he kept walking," said another neighbor who didn't want to be identified. "Next thing I know, I heard the bullets and then everybody started running inside and I ran inside."

Investigators have not released additional details. Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
