"Initially that individual left the scene, but then returned shortly thereafter when officers were on the scene, I would assume to explain his account of what happened. So what we're in the process of doing right now is interviewing that individual," Detective Andre Martin of Miami-Dade police, said.
Police said it’s unclear who had the gun or exactly how many shots were fired. The suspect's identity has not been released.
“One firearm was recovered on scene and we are working to obtain any other physical evidence. There was a vehicle here just a little while ago that was taken in for processing," Martin said.
Meanwhile, the neighborhood where McCrow grew up and lived, just minutes away from the scene, is left shaken by the loss.
"It’s just a tragedy how people is just killing people, you know. Life matters, all lives matter. They need to make a change because it’s too much killing,” one woman, identified only as Michelle, said.
Police are working to review surveillance video from the gas station.
