Detectives spoke to him for some time, saying he was grazed during the shooting.

Local 10 News tried to speak to him, but he only said he was thankful he was not badly hurt.

“Could be better, but nonetheless, I am alive,” he said.

Miami police detectives taped off portions of the neighborhood at the intersection of Northwest Second Avenue and 22nd Lane amid St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Several people working in the area watched on as police worked and crime scene units took photos of the three bullet holes in the back passenger side of the victim’s car.

Police have not announced any arrests and continue to investigate.

Authorities have also not provided any details on the circumstances that led up to the shooting.
