A man was killed in a drive-by shooting Saturday in a neighborhood in Goulds, police said.

Officers responded at around 11 a.m. to Southwest 222nd Street and 114th Court, where footage from the scene showed a yellow tarp on the ground and a bicycle lying next to it.

According to Miami-Dade Police, the male victim was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.

The victim was later identified as Edward Roberts, who was also known as "Fat Boy."

Roberts was a father of two sons, his uncle told NBC6. He spoke to his nephew just before he was shot.

“I don’t hold grudges and I don’t predict what’s gonna happen in the future, but I do believe you reap what you sow," the uncle said.
