Miami Police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened early Sunday morning.
It happened in a quiet section of Miami's Shenandoah neighborhood.
Investigators have re-opened the neighborhood after crime scene investigators spent much of the morning combing over the area discovering bullet casings among things.
Police are not saying much have confirmed to CBS4 it is not road rage.
Neighbors awakened just after three thirty in the morning to the sounds of a pickup truck crashing into cars parked on the street.
"I was in my house and I heard a big crash. A big boom," one neighbor told CBS4.
Joaquin Soler was stunned to see what was going on right outside his front door.
"We came outside and we saw a Chevy pickup, a large pickup completely, it had 3-4 bullets in the back, my car was in front completely destroyed and there was somebody dead in the car," he said.
Soler says a passenger in the pickup took off. Miami Police telling CBS4 the man ran to a home nearby and dialed 911.
Police have yet to identify him nor the driver killed in the truck. It would appear though they were in a hurry, perhaps fleeing something.
"My car is totaled," Soler said. "He came down the road at a very high speed. Hit my car. My car was parked, obviously. He moved it maybe 25-30 feet."
The neighbor's car moved much further; Soler estimates at least 100 feet.
Nearby police spotted bullet casings on the ground.
One neighbor is suspicious there may have been some sort of shootout.
"I saw a white car running around. Getting away real fast," he said.
Police believe the shots appear to have come from a dark colored vehicle and that it likely is not road rage.
They have yet to release the names of those involved.
"This is not a street for road rage, so I think maybe drugs," Soler said.
Police are looking for help on this case.
If you have any information you are asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
