MIAMI – An investigation is underway after a woman’s body was found at Northeast Miami-Dade late Monday night.
A man who lives behind the home, at NE 2 Avenue and NE 107 Street, said he walked out into his backyard early Tuesday morning and heard noise from Miami-Dade Sheriff’s investigators at his neighbor’s house. He said when he looked over the fence, he saw a woman’s body on the ground near the home’s back door. He said he didn’t recognize her.
The man said that a mother and her son have lived in the home since the 1990s. The man said he called his neighbor, who is a good friend, a handful of times until she answered on the fourth try.
“I said where are you?! I saw something happen on your house,” he said.
The man said the call was brief and he didn’t learn very much.
Another neighbor said around 10 p.m. Monday they heard several gunshots.
The sheriff’s office confirmed that they have detained one man and that they are investigating the death as a homicide.
