"He was breathing hard, labored breathing," said Jae Jackson, a man who said he heard the gunfire, and ran over to the victim to help. "He looked like he was going to fight through especially when his girlfriend tapped him on the shoulder and told him 'You're strong, you're going to make it' and he lifted his arm up. So there was hope."

Jackson told NBC6 officers took turns doing CPR on the victim, which he said he had never seen police do before.
"All I could do was just talk to him," Jackson said. "I felt sorry for him being on the ground by himself. Nobody wants to go out that way. I can't imagine that is how you want to spend your last moments."
When Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived, they pronounced the man dead at the scene.

Family members identified the man as 30-year-old Dylan Isaacs, who was visiting from Canada.
Officers blocked off an area inside a shopping center on Northwest 27th Avenue overnight as police combed the strip mall for clues.
According to Miami Gardens Police, the preliminary investigation found that the victim and some friends were walking through traffic when a verbal argument ensued with the suspect.
Police said the suspect then exited their vehicle, fired several rounds, struck the victim and then fled the scene in an unknown direction, officials said.
Video captured by NBC6 showed the man's body laying on the ground covered with a tarp early Monday morning.
Jackson said that he heard four distinct gunshots fired. He then waited a while for the incident to die down and then walked over to the victim.
It's unclear what role if any the game may have played in the shooting, which came shortly after the Dolphins lost to the Buffalo Bills.
Investigators have not shared any details about the victim's identity or about any potential suspects. The investigation continues.
