Witnesses who spoke with detectives said Macias was "arguing with the victim for no apparent reason moments before the shooting," the report said.
Officers found Macias early Monday, and he spent several hours barricaded inside an apartment in Hialeah before he surrendered to police, officials said.
Macias was being held without bond Tuesday, Miami-Dade jail records showed. Attorney information wasn't available.
