Police were investigating after a man was found shot dead Wednesday in front of a townhome in Florida City, officials said.

Florida City Police officers responded at 4:18 p.m. to reports of a shooting in the 400 block of Northeast 2nd Terrace, where they found a man with apparent gunshot wounds.

Chopper6 captured investigators at the scene, with a body covered by a yellow tarp near a white car.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is investigating the circumstances of the shooting. An officer at the scene confirmed the shooting did not happen at that location.

Neighbors said the man was shot and driven in the passenger seat of a white Jeep to a home where a relative lives.
