MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Police are investigating what could have been a case of road rage that led to a shooting along the MacArthur Causeway. A driver called police to say that someone on a dirt bike had fired a shot into his car as he was traveling eastbound on the causeway.
Miami-Beach police received the call at 6:39 p.m. about the shooting and said the victim was calling from the 900 block of West Avenue.
According to police, the driver was grazed by the bullet and was not transported to the hospital.
The Miami-Dade Police Department held a news conference Thursday morning with the family of a man who was killed earlier last week in a hit-and-run crash in northwest Miami-Dade.
The crash happened around 12:35 a.m. when a red 2015 Dodge Charger Hel-Cat rear-ended a Toyota Sienna while traveling at a high rate of speed near the intersection of Northwest 119th Street and 22nd Avenue.
Six of Lopez s friends who were in the Sienna were also hospitalized but survived. Police said they were returning from a trip to Sarasota.
Police said the driver of the Dodge fled the scene, leaving the car behind.
On Thursday, while speaking in Spanish, Lopez s mother, Lesbia Laguna, called the driver a coward and said the person doesn t have a heart.
The family is hoping people who were on scene that day can provide information to lead to the arrest of the driver.
