MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Gunfire that began on the Palmetto Expressway led to the death of a man early Thursday morning, investigators say.

Miami-Dade police say the victim was shot at from another car while both were in motion in the eastbound lanes at approximately 67th Avenue.

The victim drove to a Mobil gas station at 4701 Northwest 167th Street where additional shots were fired. Miami-Dade police arrived shortly after 12:30 a.m. to find the man with a gunshot wound, and he was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma in critical condition before succumbing to his injuries.

Police say nobody else was injured.

A bullet-ridden Mercedes remained was surrounded by police tape at the Mobil station Thursday morning and ultimately towed away as evidence.

Crime-scene investigators spent hours at the scene, placing markers next to multiple shell casings on the ground.

Detectives say they do not yet have information about potential suspects or the other vehicles involved in the shooting.
