MIAMI (AP) – A man lost his life in a drive-by shooting on Saturday in a neighborhood in Goulds, according to police.
The incident occurred around 11 a.m. at Southwest 222nd Street and 114th Court, where responding officers found the male victim with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim was identified as Edward Roberts, also known as “Fat Boy.” Roberts, a father of two sons, had spoken to his uncle just before the shooting.
Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest in the case. As of now, police have not released any details about the shooter or a possible motive.
The uncle of the victim shared his views, stating, “I don’t hold grudges and I don’t predict what’s gonna happen in the future, but I do believe you reap what you sow.”
Footage from the scene showed a yellow tarp on the ground and a bicycle lying next to it. Photographs of the victim were shared by the police, hoping that the public can help in providing any valuable information related to the case.
The investigation is still ongoing, and the authorities urge anyone with information pertaining to the incident to come forward and assist in the apprehension of the perpetrator.
