DaMarco Keshaun Harris, 24, was fatally shot on May 9, 2024, in a Midtown Miami parking lot near 35th Street and North Miami Avenue, behind The Sylvester building across from the Midtown Miami mall. Working as a ride-share driver at the time, he was found with multiple gunshot wounds, taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, and later died of his injuries. Family members identified him and said they have no idea why anyone would target him.

The Miami Police Department is investigating and has arrested two people on accessory charges; the shooter remains at large. The killing reopens an old wound for the family: DaMarco’s mother, Carmen Elena Harris, was fatally stabbed in Miami Gardens on May 3, 2003, after graduating from Florida State University, and her murder remains unsolved. The family, led in part by his aunt Nakai Kelly, has organized a fundraiser to help with funeral expenses and is asking the community for information that could lead to the shooter’s arrest.

If anyone knew DaMarco, saw activity in that Midtown parking lot on May 9, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
