On June 12, authorities took Marc Anthony Colon, 23, into custody in Miami Gardens and charged him with second-degree murder, according to an arrest report obtained by WTVJ.

Shortly after 5 a.m. two days earlier, on June 10, Colon and the victim, who police have not publicly identified, were sitting in a Honda together in front of a North Miami Beach apartment complex, the report states.

According to police, Colon allegedly opened fire on the man, striking him with 5 out of the eight shots he squeezed off.
