A man is now facing a second-degree murder charge after turning himself in for shooting another man in a Miami-Dade County bus on Saturday in Florida City.
According to the arrest report, 28-year-old Patrick Smith and 25-year-old Martavis Cannon, who were known to each other, were sitting in the back of the bus, when an argument broke out.
Smith then stood up and showed a firearm in his hand. Cannon lunged in the direction of Smith in order to stop him from using the weapon, the arrest report said.

Cannon died at the scene, officials confirmed.
It reportedly happened around 11 a.m. while the bus was in Florida City near Southwest 328th Street and the Busway.
