Man shot, killed in Miami; Fight breaks out

Miami police are investigating a fatal shooting at Northwest 22nd Street and 3rd Avenue.

The shooting happened Monday afternoon.

The man in his 20s was shot multiple times. He was dead when police arrived.

Video showed at least two people try approaching the body underneath a yellow tarp. When police grabbed one man, another approached and got into a struggle with the officers.

An police official who held the man back then began punching him, the video showed. When they separated, he punched the man in the face, knocking him down.

Freddie Cruz with the Miami Police Department said those who crossed the yellow tape contaminated the crime scene.

"By coming into the scene, they're not doing us any favors," Cruz said.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Miami police at 305 795-2300.
