SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE (CBSMiami) – One man is dead and a second man is injured after a family dispute turned deadly in Homestead.
Family members told CBS4 there was a shoot-out inside a Homestead apartment on SW 288 Street while a two-year-old was inside.
Late Saturday night, Miami-Dade police continued to investigate a shooting at an apartment complex near Homestead.
The niece of one of the two men involved told CBS4 there was an exchange of gunfire inside an apartment, but didn't want her face or name shown.
"(My uncle) came here to drop of (his) grand-daughter, and from what I'm aware of, the other guy, he started shooting," said the woman.
She said her uncle, a Hispanic man in his 50s, was killed.
The woman claims he was shot by his son-in-law and added that there was bad blood between her uncle and his son-in-law.
