Hialeah Gardens Police had received a call regarding a shooting inside an open lot often used to park semi-trailers in the 10500 block of Northwest 138th Street.
When officers arrived, they found a crashed truck with the driver, Pina, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A witness told NBC 6 that two trucks in the area were shooting at each other before one fled the scene just after the shooting, but that information was not confirmed by police.

After the shooting, investigators identified Rodriguez as the gunman, and the warrant for second-degree murder was obtained by detectives, officials said.
Detectives had initially believed Rodriguez would try to flee to Cuba by leaving the country through the Texas-Mexico border.
