Arriving officers found the body of a man who had been shot.
A friend of the victim identified him as Maurice Reese Bellamy. He said Bellamy on his way home from a concert and stopped by the Hialeah neighborhood to check on his grandmother. He said Bellamy, who does not live in the neighborhood, was not the type to cause trouble.
