We\u2019re trying to adjust to a new normal where my nephew is not here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The shots rang out on Sunday night just before midnight after the event had wrapped up for the night, putting a violent end to what Brumaire-Florence said should have been a night of fun and unity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not what you expect when you go out as a family unit to enjoy our culture,\u201d said the victim\u2019s aunt. \u201cThis is inhumane. For you to go to an event and not come home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, police released a new view of the chaos that erupted after the bullets were fired. Eventgoers are seen running for their lives as they grab their children to protect them from the gunfire.<\/p>\n<p>Detectives said three people were shot. One of them, Cyrille, would not survive. They added that the gunman pulled the trigger after some dispute erupted.<\/p>\n<p>As of late Wednesday afternoon, the two wounded victims remain at a local hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Police are still on the hunt for the gunman and are asking the public for help in finding the subject.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that these people saw something, that they know something, and we need them to contact the City of Miami Police Department and share that information,\u201d said City of Miami Police Officer Michael Vega.<\/p>\n<p>Vega said that any information available to the public may prove crucial to cracking the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s crucial in us, not only identifying the subject or subjects, but also to bring charges against these people,\u201d said Vega. <\/p>\n<p>As for the victim\u2019s family, his aunt said that they are desperate for answers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just been a constant waiting for something, waiting for an update. Waiting for something to give, some kind of resolution, relief,\u201d said Brumaire-Florence.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any information on this crime, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
