Man shot during fight, argument at Brownsville food market, MDSO and witness say

A man is recovering in the hospital after an argument turned violent in Northwest Miami-Dade early Friday, according to the sheriff's office.

The shots were fired near the Dolphin Food Market along Northwest 46th Street and 24th Avenue at around 3 a.m., according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.

Investigators said two men had some sort of dispute, and one of them pulled out a gun and shot the other in the midsection.

A store clerk told NBC6 that the situation began with a physical fight between two groups outside, and the fighting spilled inside the busy store before shots were fired.

“You fight with somebody, I slap you, you slap me, that’s it," Mike Alquran said. "You have no reason to pull a gun or start shooting. There was too many people in the front. You have no reason to start shooting the people.”

When deputies got here, they found that injured man and took him to the hospital, where he is in stable condition, authorities said.

The gunman is still at-large. Investigators have not released a description of the shooter or said where he may have gone, but anyone with information should contact Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers anonymously at 305-471-8477(TIPS).
