Miramar Police Chief Delrish Moss said two customers got into an argument inside the store when one pulled out a gun and shot the other.
The customer who was shot, identified as 27-year-old Anthony Souvenir, was initially hospitalized in extremely critical condition but police confirmed he was later pronounced dead.

The suspected gunman, 28-year-old Jaime Taylor, has been arrested on manslaughter charges, police said.
"It looks like a dispute between two people that involved nobody else, it was well isolated, but unfortunately it happened inside the store while they were open for business," Moss said.
Aerial footage showed multiple officers outside the store, which was closed off by yellow crime scene tape.
Officials didn't say what the argument was about but said the two men didn't know each other.
"Nowadays, people pull out a gun rather than having a civil conversation, they pull out a gun and decide to do the unthinkable, this is one of those things where you’ve gotta be careful even with who you argue with these days," Moss said.
Moss said no one else was injured but many witnessed the incident and were being provided help, if needed.
"Now one of the things that we’ve taken is the step of getting our social workers out and our victims’ advocates because a lot of people were in the store at the time and obviously, this is a harrowing situation for them so one of the things we’re doing is making sure they’re OK," he said.
