Quarrel between friends ends in deadly shooting outside a Miami restaurant: cops
An argument between two friends early Saturday morning ended with one of the men fatally shooting the other in the parking lot of a popular restaurant in Miami's Overtown neighborhood, police say.
Witnesses told police that both men, who had been friends for years, had been drinking together earlier, but had a heated argument outside the popular bar, restaurant and lounge, located at 920 NW 2nd Avenue, around 3 a.m.
One of the witnesses told police he was hanging out with some women next to his apartment building when he saw the victim, whose nickname is 'White Boy,' standing outside. Asked what he was doing, 'White Boy' replied that he was waiting for 'Red,' the nickname of the alleged shooter, 40-year-old Carlton Ziv Davis, police said.
He then walked to the Red Rooster parking lot, where Davis was, and the two men began to argue, according to Davis' arrest report.
The argument turned into a fight, and the witness told police that the victim tried to punch Davis, but missed, according to the report. The victim again approached Davis, then Davis pulled out a gun and shot him in the abdomen, police said.
According to the report, the witness said Davis said to his friend, 'It didn't have to end this way.'
The witness applied pressure to the victim's wound, while another man held his hand, according to the report.
Davis was at the scene when officers arrived and was arrested. Officers saw a Glock 19 9 mm handgun on the ground.
Miami Fire Rescue Paramedics took the victim, who has not been named as of Monday, to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he died from the gunshot, according to the arrest report.
Police said in their report that Davis appeared intoxicated when they arrived, and the victim was not armed when he was shot.

Driver who killed a woman in Little Havana hit-and-run was drunk, charges upped, cops say
A new toxicology report revealed that a woman was over twice the legal alcohol limit when she struck and killed a woman with her car and sped off on Southwest Seventh Street in Little Havana last month, police say. Ivana Gomez, 32, now has been charged with DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide in a reckless manner in addition to her original charges of leaving the scene of a crash involving death and resisting an officer without violence. Around 1:15 a.m. on May 30, Gomez sped past Miami Police officer A. Fernandez in her blue 2019 BMW 330i at what the arrest report described as a 'very high rate of speed.' READ MORE: 'It was just a homeless person,' driver in fatal hit-and-run tells Miami police As Fernandez followed, he saw Gomez strike a pedestrian and keep driving. The impact was so violent that the victim's hair was later found on both the windshield and inside the car. Despite the officer activating his lights and sirens, Gomez didn't pull over. She finally came to a stop at a red light at Beacom Boulevard, where two cars were stopped in front of her, according to the report. When the officer walked up to Gomez's driver's side window, he immediately smelled a strong odor of alcohol on her breath, according to the arrest report. Her eyes were bloodshot and watery, and she was alone in the car. She was taken into custody. While sitting in the back of a patrol car, police say Gomez spontaneously said, 'It was just a homeless person that I hit and it is just an accident.' 'She hit a human' Gomez appeared in bond court the day after the crash, where she faced Judge William Altfield, and the loved ones of Kathryn Kipnis, 41, the woman she is accused of killing. 'A shining light has been taken out of this world by the incredible irresponsibility of this defendant, and that Katie was an amazing person and so deeply loved,' Kipnis' cousin Rachel Kipnis told the judge via zoom. 'She hit a human, there is a Katie-sized hole in her windshield, and [she] tried to get away with it,' said an emotional Rachel Kipnis. During bond court, prosecutors added that officer Fernandez had to speed at about 100-110 miles per hour to catch up to her at the 30 mph speed limit. Results of toxicology report At 3:45 a.m., the day of the crash, Miami Fire Rescue performed an emergency blood draw on the defendant, even though she refused to give consent, according to police. Traffic Homicide Detective A. Mena also helped with the investigation and noticed what looked like fresh vomit on the driver's side of the car, the arrest report read. Later, a judge approved a search warrant for a formal blood draw. Miami Fire Rescue arrived at the Miami Police Department's South District substation and completed the first court-authorized blood draw at 6:02 a.m. They returned for a second blood draw at 7:08 a.m. When rescue personnel arrived for the second draw, the defendant refused to cooperate with officers during processing. As officers tried to help her stand, she resisted by bracing her body. She also refused to get into the rescue truck, locking her knees and resisting. Officers had to force her into the truck, and while doing so, she hit her head on the truck's frame. Paramedics checked her injuries, but she did not require hospitalization. On Monday, police received the toxicology report. These are the results, per police: ▪ Blood sample taken at 3:45 a.m., about two hours and 30 minutes after the crash, showed a blood alcohol level of 0.162 ▪ Blood sample taken at 6:02 a.m. nearly 5 hours after the crash, showed a blood alcohol level of 0.112 ▪ Blood sample taken at 7:08 a.m. showed a blood alcohol level of 0.088. All results were above the legal alcohol limit of 0.08%. Judge Altfield set her bond at $251,500 for her original charges. Jail records show that Gomez remains in custody at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center as of Wednesday morning.

'Very similar. Exactly, to be honest with you. Stamped with the serial number, imprinted with the Glock 19 on the slide. The only difference was the air cartridge in the magazine holder instead of a magazine,' Chief Turner explained. According to police, two of the five people who approached the young boy had guns. The one that was seized by police was in the hands of a teenager. One of them allegedly searched the victims' pockets and asked the value of the victims' belongings.
