On January 15, 2023, a fatal shooting in Homestead, Florida, left 24-year-old Dontravis Byrd dead. The incident occurred in the 700 block of Southwest Sixth Street at a duplex and was reported at 3:48 p.m. Passersby flagged down officers and a ShotSpotter alert also led police to the scene.

Officers found four people with gunshot wounds: three men and one woman. Dontravis Byrd was pronounced dead at the scene by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. The three surviving victims — Shanice Byrd, 29; Dyvon Smith, 24; and Lamar Kendall, 20 — were taken to Jackson South Medical Center and reported stable. Surveillance video shows a man opening a rear passenger door of a car just before gunfire, and investigators believe shots came from a vehicle; the shooter or shooters fled in an unknown vehicle. Motive and identities remain unclear, and police have asked residents and the community to provide tips to Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has surveillance footage from the 700 block of Southwest Sixth Street that afternoon, please share information with investigators.
