Video released by police showed the dirt bike fleeing southbound on I-95 right after the shooting. The driver told detectives they started recording seconds after the shooting.
"It is believed that that may be the offender involved in this case," Delva said. "At this time homicide detectives are investigating whether or not the parties knew each other, if it was an isolated incident, or even road rage. This is still part of a very active and ongoing investigation.”
Detectives are still investigating and are asking anyone with information to call them at 305-603-6350.
