A recent Sunday night shooting at the Taste of Miami Karnival in Little Haiti claimed the life of 23-year-old Kitchner Cyrille, leaving his family devastated. Cyrille was remembered by his aunt, Chrislyne Brumaire-Florence, as a compassionate and supportive young man who loved track and was attending junior college. The family expressed their deep grief and disbelief that such a tragedy occurred at a community event where many relatives were present.
The shooting, which occurred just before 11:30 p.m. on Sunday at NE 2nd Ave. and 62nd St., also resulted in the death of another unidentified man in his early 20s, who was also Cyrille's cousin. Miami Police are investigating the motive, stating it is unclear whether the incident was random or targeted. Authorities are seeking a single shooter and have identified a person of interest, but no description has been released.
Police have announced a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the resolution of the case. The family is urging for swift action from law enforcement, emphasizing the need for resolution rather than closure. They highlighted the profound impact of this inhumane act on their lives, seeking justice for Kitchner Cyrille and the other victim.
