One man was killed and a second was hurt in a shooting early Tuesday in Florida City, and people who knew the victim said the violence was broadcast on social media.<\/p>\n
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office officials said Florida City Police responded to a shooting at around 12:30 a.m. in the area of Northwest 14th Street and Northwest 2nd Avenue. Investigators appeared to focus on a first-floor apartment there.<\/p>\n
At the scene, authorities found two men suffering from gunshot wounds. One of the men was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPeople who said they knew the victim told NBC6 that the shooting started as a robbery, and that the crime was captured during a livestream on Facebook overnight. NBC6’s Julia Bagg reports.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The second man was rushed to the hospital in stable condition. <\/p>\n
Florida City Commissioner Walter Thompson, along with a relative and friend of the deceased victim, confirmed that his name is Carl Melvin. <\/p>\n
People who said they knew the 45-year-old Melvin told NBC6 that the shooting started as a robbery, and that the crime was captured during a livestream on Facebook overnight.<\/p>\n
In that footage, gunfire can be heard, followed by a 911 call in which a man says: “I got shot. One dead… Please come get me… my cousin’s dead.”<\/p>\n
“This is a shame,” Jonathan Osbun, who said he knew the victim, said. “It’s right after Christmas, before New Year’s. It’s not something that should be happening every day.”<\/p>\n
The second victim, 34-year-old Quentavis Lejohn Smith, was hospitalized in stable condition, authorities said.<\/p>\n
