NORTH MIAMI BEACH (CBS4) – Miami-Dade Police have released the name of the man who was shot and killed in the middle of a busy South Florida road.
Octavio Marquez, 56, was gunned down Wednesday after he got into an argument with another man inside a T-Mobile phone store in the area of NE 163rd Street and 12th Avenue.
According to Miami-Dade Police Detective Roy Rutland, as the dispute moved outside, Marquez got in his car and pulled out of the parking lot.

The gunman reportedly fled on foot.
