MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – A man is facing a second-degree murder charge after a fatal shooting near a Miami Beach bar<\/a> that witnesses say started with a fight inside the establishment.<\/p>\n

Quayshawn West was arrested in connection with the death of a man shot along the 6700 block of Collins Avenue, near Sand Bar & Kitchen, early Friday morning. The 41-year-old is being held without bond.<\/p>\n

According to Miami Beach Police, witnesses directed officers to an alley near the bar where the victim was found suffering from a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

Fire rescue transported him in critical condition to Jackson Memorial Hospital\u2019s Ryder Trauma Center. The patient later succumbed to his wounds.<\/p>\n

Witnesses told police the incident began with an argument between the two men inside the bar before they were forced to leave.<\/p>\n

Surveillance video from a nearby business captured a man walking down the alley, followed shortly after by another man. Gunshots are then heard, and a man falls to the ground before the shooter flees the scene.<\/p>\n

SWAT teams and a K-9 unit combed the area for hours following the shooting, prompting the shutdown of a portion of Collins Avenue at 67th Street. West was taken into custody later that day.<\/p>\n
