NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police are investigating the murder of a man who was found lying on the ground with a gunshot wound.

The shooting happened early Thursday morning in the area of 57th Street and Northwest 22nd Avenue. Miami-Dade Police arrived on scene to find a man in his 20s shot to death.

Detectives interviewed neighbors and residents who live nearby to find out if anyone witnessed anything. "It's crazy man," said a man who lives two blocks away from where the shooting took place. "I believe the world is coming to an end."

A 16-year-boy was sleeping when he woke up to shots fired. "A guy like me, you know, I'm in high school and I'm hearing gunshots and I'm already getting used to it, it's not normal," said Jonathan Corado. "We live in a world that's corrupt."

At one point, authorities prohibited residents from leaving their homes due to the crime scene investigation.

Police do not have a motive in this shooting and are actively searching for the shooter.

If you have any information on this deadly shooting, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
