A mother is seeking answers after her son was fatally shot Sunday evening in a Southwest Miami-Dade home.<\/p>\n
Edwin Molina, 32, was found by police suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to Jackson South Trauma Center where he died from his injuries.<\/p>\n
Police said preliminary information showed Molina and a 26-year-old man had been involved in some sort of altercation that led to shots being fired.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old was taken into custody and later brought to a local hospital to receive an involuntary medical evaluation, police said.<\/p>\n
“I wanna know what went on,” said Molina’s mother, Linda Taylor. <\/p>\n
Taylor is desperate for answers. She tells NBC 6 she doesn’t understand why her son was shot and killed Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNBC 6’s Laura Rodriguez has more on what neighbors are saying after the shooting took place Sunday evening.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“He was working, and they shot him down. I don’t know if they didn’t want to pay him or what happened, but they shot him.”<\/p>\n
Molina was a locksmith. His mother believes he went to the Southwest Miami-Dade home to complete a job. <\/p>\n
Police have not yet confirmed a motive.<\/p>\n
“I heard something that they think it’s breaking and entering. Edwin is not a delinquent. Edwin was my son. He was a hard worker. He never had any problems with anybody. No cops, nothing.”<\/p>\n
Molina’s grandmother recalls talking to him about an hour before he was killed. She said he was supposed to stop by her house Sunday to eat his favorite meal.<\/p>\n
“I want answers,” said Taylor. “I want to know who was the guy who shot my son. What was he like, what does he have in his background?”<\/p>\n
The man who shot Molina was detained but has not yet been charged.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe’s not arrested, he’s detained right now,\u201d Miami-Dade Police spokesman Louis Sierra said. \u201cHe’s being questioned because, again, we’re trying to figure out exactly what happened in this altercation and why a firearm was presented and obviously fired.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPolice say preliminary information revealed that an altercation between two men occurred before shots were fired and are awaiting a search warrant to search the property. NBC 6’s Alyssa Hyman has the story.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
