\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne man was killed and another man and a woman were wounded in a shooting during the Taste of Miami Karnival in Little Haiti on Sunday night, Miami Police officials said. NBC6’s Briana Nespral reports.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Cyrille\u2019s aunt and uncle told NBC6 on Monday that their nephew, whom they called Junior, was a beacon of light.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, just a gaping hole,\u201d Chrislyne Brumaire-Florence said.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat smile, great energy, great aura,\u201d Rene Charles said. \u201cYou don’t wake up thinking you’re going to lose someone you love this close and you were with them prior.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cyrille was pronounced deceased at the hospital. Detectives said another man and woman were shot, one in the arm and one in the leg. Brumaire-Florence and Charles said the other man is also their nephew.<\/p>\n
\u201cHeartbreaking, a gaping hole, a nightmare,\u201d Brumaire-Florence said.<\/p>\n
Cyrille graduated from Miami Edison Senior High School and went to a junior college, where he ran track. He was a son, nephew, cousin and friend. His family said he had a passion for fitness and hanging out in the outdoors with his uncle.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost helpful hand in the family. If you need something, he will sacrifice his time to do it all,\u201d Charles said.<\/p>\n
Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales said Monday that no one is in custody, but there is a person of interest.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter how much planning you have, it is incredibly hard to dissuade someone who has a target in mind,\u201d Morales said. \u201cIt appears to be a crime of opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
The family said they don\u2019t want a tragedy like this to ever happen again.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s no peace at this moment. You left a gaping wound,\u201d Brumaire-Florence said. \u201cThis is not how the story was supposed to end.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A South Florida family is heartbroken and grieving after someone shot and killed a 23-year-old man while he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124,2033],"class_list":["post-230667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-only-on-6"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
