Man Shot While Sitting in High-Priced Vehicle in Miami’s Design District – NBC 6 South Florida

A man was rushed to the hospital early Tuesday morning after being shot while sitting in his high-priced vehicle in Miami.

Miami Police said officers arrived at the scene located near Northeast 1st Avenue and 36th Street, located in Miami’s Design District, before 2 a.m. after reports of a shooting.

Two men were sitting inside a yellow Chevrolet Corvette when two other men approached. One of the men inside the vehicle, Amine Jawhari, told NBC 6 they immediately locked the doors.

A short time later, Jawhari said the shooter began opening fire into the driver’s side window before fleeing the scene. The driver, Reynaldo Diaz, was struck in both his arm and leg and rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital in stable condition and is expected to be okay.

Diaz said in an Only on 6 interview that he saw the men approach wearing masks and believed they were targeted because of the jewelry they were wearing.

Police have not released information on the potential suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
