Kelvin Stanley Daye Jr., a father of six in his late 20s, was fatally shot while driving in Southwest Miami-Dade on April 12, 2024. The shooting happened around 3 a.m. after a ShotSpotter alert led authorities to the 10100 block of East Hibiscus Street in West Perrine. Daye had been driving away from his sister’s house when witnesses heard gunshots, saw his vehicle lose control, crash into a sign, and come to rest in a neighbor’s yard. The car suffered major damage, including a missing rear window and bullet holes on the passenger side.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took Daye to Jackson South Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries. Neighbors described a chaotic scene and voiced concern about frequent gun violence; local activist Mark Harris urged change and called on young people to lay down their guns to protect families. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been announced. Anyone with information is asked to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS; a reward of up to $5,000 may be available for anonymous tips.
